Thank you.
I want to commend you again on the action plan that you've proposed. It's very commendable.
To the Auditor General first, you've noted that since the nineties you've identified financial management controls as issues that are requiring attention. Had you expected the Department of National Defence to have a more robust financial framework to plan, manage, monitor, and account for its resources up until now?
To Mr. Fonberg, why has it taken so long to create a financial framework to support management of resources, corporate planning, and decision-making and to create that strategic corporate plan?
I'll hear first from the Auditor General.
