As I said, I also sit on the Standing Committee on Public Accounts, where we often hear representatives from the various departments. We always hammer home the same thing, and that is the importance of having an action plan with measurable data. You must measure and verify your data. If the Auditor General goes to see you, that is precisely what he will ask of you. You have to be accountable and you're going to have to appear. In fact, that is how all parliamentary committees work.
Today, you have just told us that you will be putting recommendations in place, but you are going to leave and we will hear nothing further from you. You tell us not to worry and that the work will be done, but how can you ensure that that will be the case?
When we sit on the Standing Committee on Public Accounts, we sometimes see afterwards that things aren't working, that there are gaps or deficiencies, or we see that things go well. In many departments and agencies, things are going very well.
I simply wanted to say that if the Auditor General meets with you, it will be important for you to have a good action plan with measurable data.
