We have a network of people across the department. Every initiative certainly benefits from people who can promote it and talk about it. Frankly, I think it is about the organization as a whole being comfortable talking about it. I think a champion is a focal point. In my view, it is nice to have a champion, but I think the important work is done at the program level as people undertake the development and analysis of policies and data. That is really where it happens.
Champions can ask questions, but anybody can ask questions. You don't need a champion to ask questions about these important issues.
