Madam Chair, first I want to say that all my comments concerned the control and management systems, not the program's effectiveness, since, as I previously said, that assessment is a matter of the judgment of parliamentarians and the government.
The program definitely has some deficiencies. The Auditor General's report clearly sets them out. Even today, we have action plans designed to correct those problems and to continue improving program operation.
When I say I'm satisfied, I'm talking about the program, since the Auditor General's report appeared in 2002. I'm very pleased that significant efforts have been made to improve the quality of information provided to Parliament.
