Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses. I especially welcome Mr. Gallivan, the new deputy minister.
I want to jump right into it with the Auditor General. On the “letter of acceptance” fraud, you talked about 51 applications where fraud was suspected, and you found that the department didn't follow procedures in a quarter of those cases. Either they were approved without looking into the fraud or the fraud wasn't flagged on their files for future use.
Is that consistent with what you saw?
