Thank you, Chair.
Thank you again for your presentation. I'll start with the coast guard, chapter 4. I'm sure it's purely coincidental that neither the current nor previous governing parties have raised this. I'm sure it's just because they were preoccupied with other things.
In the context of your overall report, there are five that are good. This is a good sign. It's clear what we do when we don't like reports. There's no happy face system. We're really hard on them when they don't do the right job. When they do something right, there should be some recognition of that because they won't get a lot of attention on that. But kudos to the deputies and staff who are making that happen.
However, our job is to work on the areas that are not yet up to a standard that's acceptable for the Canadian people. Certainly this is one of the most scathing reports that I've seen, and it sets a new low, as far as I'm concerned. I now see a report on page 7 of this chapter that talks about a 1983 Auditor General's report raising issues that were raised again in the reports of 2000 and 2002. It's coming back again in 2007, and it's still not done.
So where are we, Auditor General, on this one? What are the key concerns you're finding, and why is this happening over decades?
