Mr. Speaker, my colleague knows full well that we are carrying out a full review of federal government programs and how we deliver them to Canadians. One of the goals of our review is certainly to identify duplication and overlap and reduce problems in this area, because it is indeed a form of waste when two levels of government deal with the same problems and programs.
Although my approach to the division of responsibilities would be different from that of my colleague, we are certainly trying, in co-operation with all the provinces in the country, to rationalize services in order to reduce overlap and duplication.
