Thank you very much. I appreciate your pointing that out and providing that explanation.
On page 6 of your report you highlight lapsed funding, and we've had a fair bit of discussion around that. You highlighted that lapsed funding has doubled. We don't know why that funding has lapsed, because the government has failed to release the departmental results reports and we don't have a commitment from the President of the Treasury Board as to when they will be tabled or made public.
You've potentially described what the impact is on our ability to do the work that we need to do as parliamentarians, but in particular for this committee where we are mandated to scrutinize public spending, I want to ask you if the work of parliamentarians is being impeded by the fact that these reports are not being tabled in a timely manner.
