I think some of that leadership must be demonstrated by cabinet, and I think there has to be leadership on the part of the Department of Finance. I think the measures being undertaken by Treasury Board and the Privy Council Office are also important. I understand Treasury Board has made some recommendations that are now being incorporated, and I think those are absolutely essential. I would also argue, and this has been mentioned by this committee during the last Parliament, that leadership within the Privy Council Office is absolutely crucial to any sort of success because of their task to coordinate government functions.
