Lysane Blanchette-Lamothe at the Public Accounts Committee

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I thank all the witnesses for being here with us today.

I want to congratulate the department for the positive elements that are to be found in the report of the Auditor General. However, since this is the Standing Committee on Public Accounts, I would like to obtain some further information on the follow-up to the Auditor General's recommendations.

First, I would like to go back to what my colleague Mr. Allen was saying about measuring the progress made with regard to program objectives.

You explained why you had not begun, at first, to produce these reports. However, I did not quite understand why you will only be producing a report in 2015-2016. What is preventing you from producing one next year?
