Mr. Auditor General, obviously the Clerk of the Privy Council had some words that perhaps did not fall in line with what your message was. Some of it, I think, he took exception to, and some of it he said he agreed with, but when looking at the words “incomprehensible failure”, he certainly took exception to that.
I think you have said that, yes, it was an opinion related to the culture. You've said that here today. This is an opinion based on years and years of service in your field and years and years of service to the people of Canada.
Is it not an incomprehensible failure that this system was launched without a signatory representing the minister or the minister himself?
