Mr. Chairman, everything we are planning to do is in the business plan we tabled. And for the very specific items of standardization and so forth, we have identified the specific commitments.
We will be tabling with this committee, I would expect by mid-May, our updated business plan for 2008-09. One of the initiatives you will see in that business plan, which is a new initiative, is to spend probably a year or two within the agency on revisiting our mission, our mandate, and our values. That exercise is intended to get at the issue you're raising, quite legitimately, of looking at beginning to get the cultural change within the coast guard, to have people look at the coast guard more as a national institution rather than one focused entirely on their region, or their vessel, or their part of the coast guard.
I think that's one of the most significant issues, because the coast guard does have a very strong can-do attitude. It needs—and it would be a mistake not to have—a lot of operational flexibility in the field, and it is balancing it with that national outlook and standardization.
