Wonderful.
Colleagues, thank you for agreeing to work through the bells.
Seeing as we have about three minutes, I'm going to exercise the chair's prerogative and ask a couple of questions myself.
Ms. Boudreau, I want to get to the DRRs. You sent out a letter in May, advising a November 1 submission. In May, the template was provided in advance for departments to use. The tabling date was November 21. I'm curious why a letter you sent out in May apparently has not been followed. A template was sent out, and yet you seem to indicate that departments have not used the proper template.
Could you provide us with that, but also provide us—I realize we won't have the time today—in writing which departments still have not submitted their DRRs?
Our primary role, as parliamentarians, is to vote on spending. Frankly, I'm aghast at the fact that we're being asked to vote on issues when we still have not received last year's results. This is an ongoing problem.
Why is this happening?
