Thank you.
Mr. Baker, I indeed have many questions for you.
Obviously the Auditor General has criticized Public Safety Canada for not exhibiting or demonstrating the kind of leadership we needed to coordinate emergency management. So why were there no policies and procedures developed since your creation to clarify and coordinate this leadership role? Why did it take so long to come to this point? Why wasn't there an action plan developed until now, and why did you never get the interim plan endorsed?
