Thank you.
I'll go to page 14, where we talk about the risk management. In 2001 the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat introduced the integrated risk management framework. That was sort of my earlier reference.
If we go down, it states, “Introduction of integrated risk management elements is slow”. You indicate in your report, under 5.45, that you had expected, I think at the time of this, “National Defence to have a well-developed approach to risk management”, and you indicate that it only began in 2007. I'm thinking, if I go down a little further, it actually means January 2007. That's when they initiated the first part of the corporate risk profile.
I don't know if that's when it was completed or they started it.
They started it? Okay.
Then it says “the second part”. So they must have finished one part to implement the second part in March 2008, which was just a little over a year later.
One, is this a framework that's been developed at all different stages by different departments? And I think that's the whole impetus of it.
Following on what we just talked about in my first question, about the implementation of the Canada first defence strategy, did you find anything that would have helped or delayed it? Was there anything substantive that would have been a fair consequence to delay it, or was it that they just didn't find it important at the time to get at it?
