Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Da Pont, Mr. Stoffer asked you if you had developed a clear presentation to go to Treasury Board or whomever to say that in order to be a really functional organization through the mandate given to you, this is what you need, and this is what you're going for. You came back and said you were trying to figure out how to accommodate the increase in fuel prices, and you totally avoided Mr. Stoffer's question.
You now, according to the Auditor General and perhaps according to you, know what is required to run the coast guard to the standards determined by the Government of Canada. Have you made a submission to the Treasury Board or to the department--since you are an SOA--saying that this is what you need to do the job they expect of you?
