Thank you. I'm going to move on.
In 2023, Minister Anand announced that departments would be ordered to find savings of $15 billion. However, the details were scant. Unsurprisingly, the 2024 and 2025 public accounts of Canada indicate that those savings have yet to be achieved.
On Monday, I asked your department whether proposed savings announced in the comprehensive expenditure review would be realized or whether they would be dealt a fate similar to the 2023 ill-hearted attempt at savings. A senior official actually stated, “I don't think you will be able to see a decrease as compared to what was announced in the budget”. Do you agree with that statement, President?
