We had a process of about a year of consultations. It was the first time we had all the stakeholders in the same room. It was a forum in which we had all the various stakeholders in one room for discussions over about two days about improvements that could be brought to the program. A report on these consultations--a summary of what came out of these consultations--has come up. What we need to do now is examine the improvements we may wish to consider and bring them to the attention of the minister.
