Another area I'm interested in is the status of the crown corporations in the picture. I'm sure you've explained this before, but I'm the type of person to whom you may have to explain things two or three times before they register. In a more simplified world, to me, crown corporations are simply agents of government with a mandate to carry out government mandates or policies. In that sense, as a member of Parliament, I view them very much in the same light I view any agency or department, in terms of accountability and knowing what's going on, and so on.
I guess the question I'm asking you is, are you happy at this stage with the degree of accountability and control that government has over crown corporations?
