All right. Good.
I find it quite interesting when reading the report that the department is being held accountable for the performance not only of itself, but also of the provinces as they participate together with you in this program. Yet, in the Auditor General's opening statements, and I believe in yours as well, the comment was made that there was no audit done of the performance of the provinces that were involved in any of this AgriRecovery program.
But I do find several statements in the report interesting. In paragraph 8.31 it says, to quote from your department:
...it is reasonable to assume that all producers that received assistance found it helped their recovery.
Also, two paragraphs later, there's a similar comment, which comes as a result of the audit team's survey:
Our overall survey response indicated general satisfaction with the amount of financial assistance received through AgriRecovery....
Further on in the report, the Office of the Auditor General indicates that the department does not have appropriate performance measurements, and yet two paragraphs later I see that there are actually performance measurements that the department has. Those performance measurements, which are your current ones, I believe, are whether producers find the program helpful, whether producers stay in business after a disaster, and whether producers get assistance when they apply.
