Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs. Last spring, the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs justified a substantial increase in the Privy Council's budget by saying that this increase was intended for the most part to pay for studies to be conducted in order to reduce duplication and overlap.
Could the minister tell us how many studies on duplication and overlap between Ottawa and the provinces have been conducted by the Privy Council since spring?
