Thank you very much. It's nice to see you all again.
My first question is to the Auditor General. It follows up on much of what Mr. Sweet was asking at the end.
On page 15, paragraph 3.56, the Auditor General stated, “We observed a practice of assigning staff to rotational positions regardless of whether their level matched the job requirements, and we found a significant number of people in acting positions for periods such as a whole posting cycle.”
When I look at the response from the department, on page 6 of the department's response, it says that a certain level of acting is normal and desirable. The solution seems to be, in the response from the department, that there could be some seminars or a need for better hiring.
So my question is to the Auditor General. I'm curious about what you think of this response from the department. Will it adequately change the behaviours you've identified in your report?
