Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Gillis, I want to ask you about something very specific. Page 11 of your report compares planning spending with actual spending. Pages 14 and 18 include tables. They show planned spending as compared with actual spending. There are huge gaps. Nowhere in your report does it explain those gaps, be it in the introduction, the conclusion or the main points of the report. According to page 11, the department's planned spending was $653.8 million, and total actual spending was $3,451.8 million.
Then on page 14, it says that in 2002, Canada ranked 9th out of 154 countries and today ranks 19th. Why does Canada continue to lag behind in terms of its level of advancement in the use of information and communications technology? How did money spent in 2008-2009 improve that situation?
