I just want to ask a couple of questions about process.
First of all, I'm glad you're going to give us a list of the minor amendments in a package.
In following up on Todd's giving notice to the government, I think it would be good that we accede to your request and try to get these on the agenda within the next year. If it came from the government, it would be win-win for everybody, but I'm sure you'll have the support of all the opposition parties to bring these forward quickly to try to deal with them.
Given your experience, I want to talk about generalities and process a bit. You raised a very good point. This department is a huge department. It has thousands of staff and hundreds if not thousands of issues, so it's impossible or very hard to get everything done.
I wonder whether you have any suggestions. Some of the areas that have been problematic, for instance, are implementation of land claims; modification of agreements, obviously, which you're talking about here; making the workload more realistic. I understand what you're saying about the gap between the bureaucracy and the politicians; that's another issue for all departments.
In this particular department, if we, for instance, hived off northern affairs to focus the minister more on aboriginal issues, and if we had a separate organization related to land claim implementation, would that also take some pressure off the minister to give a more realistic workload and move some of these files forward faster, sooner than 19 years?
