Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks very much for appearing here and for this report. It's good reading.
My first question is really an overall one, not looking at a particular chapter.
When you started your comments, Mr. Maxwell, you said that government had not met key commitments, deadlines, and targets. As an opposition member who wants to hold government to account, what I want to know is why?
Is it due to cutbacks? Are these targets impossible to achieve? Is it, as Mr. Carrie alludes to, a problem with consultation eating up a lot of that time? Why exactly aren't we meeting these targets and commitments? Is it management? Is this a question of structure within the organization and management?
