A good portion of the people you see at 340 Laurier are national headquarters staff. The public safety department is also located at 340 Laurier--the secretariat, as we commonly refer to it--and they have responsibility for things such as helping to shape correctional policy. Where Correctional Service Canada is responsible for implementing the policy and the legislative frame, the secretariat is involved in setting up policy. We play a contributing role in that. It has roles around aboriginal policing and other things that are within the public safety domain.
