Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to welcome my colleague Ms. Sansoucy to the committee.
I am on the Standing Committee on Public Accounts. We have just received the tabling of the Auditor General's reports. Here we have the chance to talk about the issues.
I want to make a small reference to the report we saw this week. The Auditor General has commented that we still tend not to think of the citizen, and my colleague made reference to this. Not only are people interested in what's going on here, but ultimately they are receiving the services. They are why we are here.
One of the tools I find very interesting in providing better programs and services to Canadians is the gender-based analysis plus.
I would like to start with questions for the Privy Council Office.
Could you please talk to us about the challenge function and how that works with producing better policies, programs, and services for citizens?
