Thank you very much, Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for that testimony. A lot of the common theme we've heard, especially from our first two witnesses, revolved around bureaucracy and the slowdowns that can occur when a government department gets too big and too bureaucratic. As it was pointed out, it costs lives in some cases. We've heard testimony in the veterans committee where veterans have to reapply to prove that their limbs are still missing. This seems to be a common theme.
I'll start with Dr. Makokis, if I can, and then maybe Dr. Lafontaine can jump in. As you pointed out in your testimony, it seems that bureaucracy only moved when you hit the panic button and shocked the department into doing its job. This must be extremely frustrating for you, as was very clear in your testimony.
How would you go about, as some people have suggested, restructuring the department as a whole so that it functions properly?
