I take your point, Chair. I would also add that I think what the Auditor General's report indicated was that no matter who was at the helm, there were some weaknesses in terms of the management processes within the agency.
Although I would personally hope to stay and be able to see a lot of this through, that's not my decision. But it is my responsibility to make sure that the management processes inside the agency are sound and that the directions that are set out will stand the test of time. The kinds of things we're doing now are not really contingent upon who's the president or the minister; these are just good management practices. A government always has the right to make policy decisions about where it wants to put its effort and its emphasis, etc., and the agency would follow through on the political direction it is given. But the agency can take charge of the management issues underneath the policy.
