Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Thank you very much to the Auditor General for being here, your staff, and Health Canada officials.
I would like to address, if I may, chapter 8 of your report first. I have a question to the Auditor General.
Program managers indicated to your office that additional funding is required to meet their regulatory responsibilities. Program funding levels have remained constant while demands on the three programs have been increasing.
Has your office evaluated how much more funding would be needed under the three programs to achieve their objectives? Are additional human resources also required?
And in your opinion, are the problems identified in the audit regarding chapter 8 related to a money issue or a management issue?
