Madam Chair, in terms of the baselines, we recognize that one of our challenges was a lack, in some areas of the department, of baseline information, and we've accepted the Auditor General's recommendation in that area. We have work already under way to establish those baselines.
I think it's important to underline that we are meeting our regulatory responsibilities. We have a strong regulatory system for drugs, for medical devices, and for a wide range of other health products. As I indicated in my opening remarks, we have one of the best safety records in the world.
As a result of the Auditor General's work, we found that we were lacking information in the areas she identified. We have undertaken work, as I already said, to bring ourselves to a position where we are able to both furnish that information to others and also use it in our resource allocation process.
The other area in which the Auditor General identified we had work to do—and we agreed—was in our operational planning process. We made some significant improvements to that process this current fiscal year, which is just coming to an end. We've conducted a lessons learned exercise so that next year our operational planning process will profit from that experience in the first year.
I don't think there's any question in our minds that we are not meeting our regulatory responsibilities. What we do concede is that we were lacking in some of the information to demonstrate that clearly to others. And we've undertaken to address that.
