Madam Chair, the minister has done a number of things to accelerate, rationalize, and co-ordinate the fiscal cycle and the procurement cycle.
In the budget, the minister is proposing the hiring of 200 more procurement specialists. He is part of a ministerial cabinet working group. These are small fixes in some respects, but in the larger scheme of things may turn out to be very significant fixes, so that the fiascos we saw in the previous government are not repeated.
I would be interested in the minister's observations.
