Back to Ms. Fraser. I want to get your thoughts and comments on an issue that has been before this committee for many years and on which we have expressed concern. I'm dealing with compensation and benefits. Specifically, I'm dealing with performance pay. As you know, the committee has had a concern in the past about the transparency of it. I have no problem giving a bonus to an employee after an exemplary performance, but what has happened is that in other departments, it has crept into the system so that it is almost universal. In some departments it is 100%. In most departments it is 90%.
In my view, it's just become an additional layer of salary that's not up there as transparent as I, as a member of Parliament, would like to see it. Again, parliamentarians really don't know the criteria used to determined this. Could you take us through how you determine...? On page 43 of your performance report, dated for the period ending March 31, 2008, you talk about the range. Can you give us the percentages and explain how you determine them? Is it just given to everyone, like some other departments of government do? I should point out, as you are fully aware, that the Prime Minister's panel on public service has certainly addressed this issue too.
