Government Operations committee  Yes, I didn't come into the position having proposed the solution to solve the pension solvency issue, but it's absolutely part of my remit. It's part of my challenge to figure out how to ensure we have a financial plan forward, and part of that is going to be the pension.

Government Operations committee  On the governance model, no, I don't have any concerns. There is a skills-based board currently in place. If any of those board appointments change, I am quite confident, based on the process I've been exposed to, that it will continue to be a skills-based board going forward. As

Government Operations committee  I don't have in my knowledge 2016, 2015, or 2014. I apologize, but I would be happy to report back to the committee on that.

I think the relief from needing to provide dividends back to the government is, from my personal perspective, very welcome for the corporation.

Government Operations committee  —and one that needs to be transformed to be able increasingly to deliver parcels.
