I would eliminate all of the sentences that deal with acknowledging the hard work of the ministers. There are varying opinions on that. I agree that both ministers are very dedicated to their departments and to their craft, but if we're trying to craft a letter that is unanimously supported at this table, I think it's alway best to just get to the point, without flowery language, and just tell the ministers what we would like them to do.
