I have one last question for you. I think I have about a minute and a half.
Mr. Desjarlais and I sat at public accounts committee one day, and we had an Auditor General's report on emergency management services, I think.
We've had numerous Auditor General's reports. We have numerous reports from your office. We talk to people on the ground. All of us talk to people in the communities. There's this conclusion that some of these things are not working. They're not working on the ground to improve the lives of people.
We need to find a way to fix that. Yet, when we get the ministers and department officials here, they don't take responsibility for this lack of accountability. Instead, they double down. From my seat, it's like everybody sees that there's a problem, but we won't acknowledge it. We won't take responsibility for it.
I would suggest to you, sir, that truth and reconciliation begins with accepting the truth.
Would you agree with my conclusion that in order to bring about effective change, the minister and the top officials of these departments must be willing to accept the truth of some of the challenges that you so clearly portray in your report?
