Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I appreciate having the witnesses appear before the Standing Committee on Public Accounts.
My first question is for Mr. Ferguson.
Point 6.61 addresses this federal agency's fairly significant staffing problems. Among other things, only 15 of 32 positions for that location have been filled. Do these major staffing gaps explain for the most part certain administrative shortcomings that you have seen elsewhere? Or is it a simple matter of poor management or a problem related to insufficient staff to carry out the tasks in a timely manner?
