I know it's going to be astounding that Peter and I are going to agree at least twice in the same day, but the thing that struck me when my briefing started was that because it is the only department outside of Ottawa, it's really nice for them to see the MPs and to get questions they normally wouldn't get. It's Ottawa coming to them, which I think is a very nice thing to do. It's as much for their benefit as it is for ours, really.
