Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the President of the Treasury Board for being with us today. It's an important discussion, as I think Canadians across our country are having to deal with the double crisis of affordability. They themselves are having a tough time trying to balance their own books, whether it's for rent, food or trying to make sure they have enough money to make it through difficult times. They're finding challenges in trying to tighten their belts.
Meanwhile, they see here in Ottawa a very different story—one that says companies were able to access our public service and bid on contracts almost continuously since 2008. In this trajectory, the public service has been continuing to lose funding, lose full-time employment and lose resources from our federal government from as early as 2008. That creates a problem that the Auditor General outlined in her report.
My first question to you, Madam Minister, is this: Have you read the Auditor General's recent report on ArriveCAN?
