Minister, once you were in place, you reported in February that when phase one was scheduled to start, your department told you it was ready to go and you gave the signal to go. It was the same thing with phase two. By the time May, June, and July rolled around and it had reached a crisis point, you met with this committee again to say that October 31 would be the date.
Do you have confidence in what your officials are telling you? This is really the concern we now have with your leadership in the department.
