I'm not sure if I would use the word “surprising” or “disappointing”. I will use the word “disappointing” for the lack of documentation for me. I was an internal auditor for several years before being at Treasury Board, and I don't understand why people would not be documenting their decisions and documenting to have an audit trail at the end of the day. For me, it's just being professional and following values and ethics, so yes, I was disappointed.
