Hon. Marty Deacon: My question is for the Government Representative in the Senate.

Senator Gold, this past July, we saw a major cabinet shuffle that welcomed in many new faces and even introduced a new portfolio in the Minister of Citizens’ Services. This shuffle represented a change of priorities for this government in order to meet the challenges Canadians are facing every day.

We have yet to see the new mandate letters for these ministers, though. I have found the timely publication of these letters incredibly useful in determining the goals of the government and making sure I can hold these ministers to account when they appear before us. Can we expect a new crop of mandate letters and, if so, when?
