--so I'm fully accountable for my actions here.
I have read it recently, in the context, frankly, of my orientation into the department.
I take your point. We will be informed by the Auditor General's report, the views of the public accounts committee, and so on in preparing future iterations of this. All I can say is that we will endeavour to make sure that this reflects more accurately, perhaps, what the current status of development is in the area of emergency management.
To go back to your first point, we agree with the Auditor General, as does the minister, that Public Safety Canada has a ways to go in demonstrating the leadership we need to exercise. I must point out that when you see, recommendation by recommendation, “unsatisfactory”, that does not mean that nothing is being done. It means that in the judgment of the Auditor General, or the public accounts committee, not enough has been done to get us over the line to be considered satisfactory.
I think we need to recognize that a lot of work has taken place. Is it enough? Absolutely not. We are here today with an action plan and an absolute commitment to move this forward and be able to deliver more positive results in the future.
