Thanks, Mr. Chair. I did forget I wanted to ask a question with regard to a
recommendation from the Auditor General’s most recent report. It was a follow-up on four audits that had been previously done. Within their report, they made three recommendations that apply across government, and I bring it up here at the Executive because the Executive, under the directorate, states that it is responsible for the implementation of government-wide direction. The Auditor General identified three barriers to the operation of the government that are barriers to effective program management. They were: inadequate information to manage programs and make decisions; insufficient monitoring of third-party program delivery; and an absence of detailed action plans to implement audit recommendations. The suggestion of the Auditor General was that this needed to be dealt with government-wide. I’d like to ask the Minister whether or not he agrees with the Auditor General that this is something that his department needs to take hold of and take responsibility for. Thank you.
