I'll take the second question.

\n

Parks Canada has reported to a number of ministers over its long history. As I think everybody at the table knows, since 1999 we had the Parks Canada Agency Act, and eventually transferred over into having a direct reporting relationship with the Minister of Environment and Climate Change. I think it's well beyond my station to comment on the appropriateness of that, but I would simply observe that the way Parks Canada Agency is organized is that there are a number of directorates, and each has an equal place at the executive management table.

\n

I think I should end with that comment.

Je vais r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 la deuxi\u00e8me question.

\n

Parcs Canada a relev\u00e9 d'un certain nombre de ministres au cours de son histoire. Comme tout le monde \u00e0 la table le sait, je crois, depuis 1999, nous avons la Loi sur l'Agence Parcs Canada, et l'organisme est finalement pass\u00e9 \u00e0 un rapport hi\u00e9rarchique direct avec le ministre de l'Environnement et du Changement climatique. Je crois que je d\u00e9passerais le cadre de mes fonctions si je commentais la pertinence de ce changement, mais je ferai simplement observer qu'il y a un certain nombre de directions g\u00e9n\u00e9rales au sein de l'Agence Parcs Canada et que chacune d'elles occupe une place \u00e9gale \u00e0 la table de la haute direction.

\n

Je crois que je devrais terminer par cette remarque.
