Thank you, Mr. Chair; and thank you, Mr. Swing.
I note that you're a North Carolinian. I have some family there, so there's a bit of a connection.
My questions relate to some of the audit findings that were undertaken by our Department of Citizenship and Immigration in 2015. One of the recommendations was that our department:
should actively monitor and report on [your organization's] implementation of the 'budget strengthening plan' to ensure that increases to membership costs result in evidence-based reporting, policy guidance, higher quality research, and budgetary transparency.
What measures has your organization put in place to ensure that Canada is getting better value for money than we were prior to the audit?
