Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I'm really happy you're finding the efficiencies here today.
Thank you to our witnesses today. I certainly appreciate your presentation and your knowledge on the subject.
Earlier the chair mentioned reports on plans and priorities. I believe, Mr. Chair, there was a report submitted by this committee, and one of the recommendations in that particular report said there's a clear linkage between the RPPs and supply, and that to have those reports as soon as possible or even to have them at the same time as the main estimates would be ideal. To hear that the RPPs are going to be coming forward earlier than usual is a step in the right direction.
In linking the RPPs, I did have a question regarding vote 15c, which is on page 120 of the supplementary estimates. I'm a big believer in linking projects, the RPPs, strategically. On the compensation adjustments, I think Ms. Walker has done a very good appraisal of what it is and what it is not. Obviously, it's not a salary transition; it's a transitional allowance. I do have here your RPP in regard to this. I believe it's under program activity two, which is people management, from last year's RPP.
Could you take a moment and link what this particular item is and how that relates to your RPP? Where's the department headed in this direction?
