Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, witnesses, for being here on a Wednesday afternoon.
One of the comments I get when I talk to people at GAC, the employees—and we do have some really good employees at Global Affairs. I will say that. They go beyond their job descriptions. They actually exceed there. In the interactions I've had with them, I've actually seen the work they do, and it's very good.
But one of the comments they'll always make is that GAC is run by human resources and they feel very frustrated with the HR department and their ability to have control and to get promotions and to move to different jobs because of HR policy.
Would you agree with that comment?
I'll start off with you, Ms. Blais, and then move down the list.
