Is it a C-plus?
I find it somewhat difficult. The deputy has said here, “As deputy minister, I believe that the department overall is doing well”. At the same time as your report was issued he said, “My belief stems in part from the results and feedback from Treasury Board Secretariat in its annual assessment”.
Now, if Treasury Board Secretariat made an annual assessment of your department at the same time this was published, did you get an A from Treasury Board? We've seen articles in the paper about people near the top getting bonuses for doing good jobs. Did your people get bonuses to reflect that they were doing A work? I had trouble getting better than a B from what Auditor General said.
