Thanks.
Madam Chair, I have one more question for the department officials. Back to chapter 8, “Allocating Funds to Regulatory Programs”, the audit found that the rationale for making decisions about funding under the three programs had not been documented. There was also no documentation showing the impact of funding decisions on program delivery.
Moreover, when the funding level allocated to a program was lower than what was requested by program managers, there was no documentation explaining which activity would not be carried out and how this decision was reached.
How does the department intend to change this situation, and what process will be put in place to document funding decisions and their affects on programs?
