Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I hope this isn't the blind leading the blind, but I do feel that we're supposed to be leading, and I feel we're kind of blind here. We hope that Treasury Board is not blind. I still haven't got a feel for what we're trying to achieve here this afternoon.
I liked the fact that you put these four questions on the table and that we're going to get some answers. Perhaps if we'd had the answers, we could have had some debate around them, but we're a bit “cart before the horse” here, and this is unfortunate.
There is going to be a change in the management, by virtue of the Financial Administration Act, which is hopefully going to be approved in law pretty soon. How much preparation have you done in anticipation of this? Have you had your discussions? You mentioned “robust discussions”. I presume that's heated arguments, turf protection, and so on. Are you prepared, Mr. St-Jean and the Treasury Board, Mr. Fonberg, for the Financial Administration Act when it becomes law?
Mr. St-Jean.
