Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Giroux, thank you for being here.
In your report, it is noted that lapses in budgetary spending authorities have more than doubled compared with previous years. You also point out in the report that not receiving departmental results reports somewhat undermines the analytical work.
My question will be simple for you, but it is more complicated for me.
We know that lapsed funding has more than doubled. How does not having the departmental results reports impact our work? Departments have not tabled their reports. Is this a lack of transparency on their part? Is it common for those reports not to be tabled on time? Should there be legislation to impose a deadline for the tabling of these reports?
