Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Maybe we'll propose to the Auditor General future audits on the effectiveness of committees and how they work. But I'll leave that in your hands.
One of the issues that comes up quite often is the capacity to assess certain projects and the lack of expertise. I know we've gone through it before, and it's a question I asked when the Auditor General came before the defence committee. It's about the lack of experience and expertise that exists within certain departments. How can they actually assess it? Do you develop it? Just as somebody gets good at it or understands it, they get promoted to something else.
The audit describes how other countries have adopted methodologies for monitoring large IT projects. These methodologies require independent third parties to assess IT investments at specific intervals during the life of a project. Would establishing an independent third party to assess large IT investments help rectify the situation? Maybe you could describe this and how the results would come out.
