Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Hogan, thank you for your time today. Your contribution to this committee is invaluable. I'm brand new to this committee, but I'm looking forward to getting your next report on recruitment and training in October.
Something struck me when I read your report. I get the sense the government is flying by the seat of its pants. How can it be that departments such as Public Services and Procurement Canada and National Defence lack so much hard data? That's been my first unpleasant surprise since joining this committee. It's quite frustrating.
How can they not know how many federal public servants they need offices for? How are they going to get those numbers? I'd like you to comment on that.
