Just to answer your first question, I was appointed the president of CIDA on July 1, 2008, so I've been there for 16 months. David joined me in May 2009.
As the Auditor General's report notes, CIDA's work that they reviewed--and they did field visits--was highly regarded. We have a very strong results-based management system in CIDA, so I believe the work on the ground was still garnering very strong results.
We accepted the comments of the Auditor General, and in fact we had already begun to put in place greater focus and a stronger sense of priority and direction in what CIDA would focus its programming on. My comment really relates to the work that has happened recently, which has been to give the kind of sense of overall direction, priorities, and implementation plan that I believe the Auditor General was looking for and the Government of Canada committed to do.
