Mr. Chair, I wouldn't presume that all the reports are there for a reason, quite frankly. I think there is a lot of information that can be streamlined. Now, there are important reporting requirements, and obviously the departments and agencies have to account to the central agencies on a number of issues, but there is some question about the utility of all these reports. I interpret this response as being a question of streamlining, not eliminating necessary information, but that might be something the committee would want to take up with the secretariat.
