Human Resources committee  I'm assuming that there is some type of concurrence around the world with respect to what best practices are so that we know what we're implementing.

Human Resources committee  I haven't been able to find Valerie's number recently.

Human Resources committee  Thank you. You made reference to a gold standard coming out of this, to setting a gold standard. You also commented on the UN rights of individuals, and that we fall short of those. Could you reconcile those two comments for me?

Human Resources committee  Well, one of the principles of policy development is often not just the engagement of the end-users of the policy, which you talked about, but also their involvement in the implementation of the policy.
