So what are the directions and improvements?
Deputy Minister, Department of Finance
I have made it clear to you that, throughout my career, I have respected the origins and the past of all the organizations in which I have worked. I do the same in the Department of Finance.
The world keeps turning, so it is quite reasonable to make some adjustments to better streamline the activities of the Department of Finance.

I'm feeling very charitable today. Mr. Sabia has been in the hot seat for the last hour. I have no further questions. I'm happy to wrap it up and get into private business, our committee business.
