Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I will speak in French. We have two official languages, and I hope you are proficient in French.
Unlike my colleague, I'm not reassured, and I will explain why.
I am an entrepreneur. When I negotiate and put things in place, I do so with my own money. Right now, we're talking about an agency and public funds. My oversight role includes looking at what other jurisdictions are doing. I don't know why, but France came to mind. It has had a structured and planned policy framework for 60 years. Here, we're told that we have to move quickly, that there is compliance, that people were hired for this, that there are now 85 employees and that the bill on planning is on the way, but action will be taken before then.
What's the status of the clarification between investments and current expenses? What's the status of accountability? What's the status of the standardized accounting method? We want to know that. I know you are in the process of planning this. What's the status of the trajectory? It has to be something that is clear.
I'm telling you this because I'm also on the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs and I know that veterans are watching the agency unfold and saying that we should start by providing them with transition and support services. Otherwise, tomorrow morning, no one will want to steer what's coming.
I don't find that reassuring. Can you give some reassurance about what's coming in the next quarter?
