Mr. Chair, to clarify, as I mentioned, the Privy Council Office is the bureaucratic arm that supports the Prime Minister as his department, and the Prime Minister's Office is his direct political ministerial staff who support him directly. Therefore, no, we are separate and distinct. It is not a dissimilar kind of construct to a minister's office in supporting a department, if that helps.
