Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We made one recommendation.
In this chapter, we found problems in three areas. Information was prepared too late or was incomplete; the Department of National Defence overestimated its ability to properly handle the unforeseen, and there were problems in terms of the financial information presented to decision-makers and to Parliament.
We identified weaknesses in three prime areas: the process that was followed, the risk mitigation strategy, and the financial information. We feel that part of any process going forward is to first make sure there will be rigour and scrutiny around the actual steps in the process. Second, the government will need to make sure it has an appropriate risk mitigation strategy and has full cost information available.
