Minister, in answer to questions over the last few weeks you referred to creating efficiencies and cutting the fat. What I'd be interested in knowing is what vehicles or what table of evaluation or efficiency models you used to determine what was inefficient or simply fat. For example, the cuts that you made to literacy will--in the Yukon, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, P.E.I., Newfoundland, and Labrador--actually close literacy organizations with decades of work on capacity building and literacy promotion.
First of all, I'd like to know, if you have an evaluation and efficiency model that you're using, if you would table it with the committee.
Second, here this morning, could you give us some examples of inefficient and fat programs that you cut?
