Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank all of the witnesses for being here with us today.
Of course, I read the Auditor General's report, and this morning I received your detailed action plan. I have to tell you that I was very concerned when I saw the replies to the recommendations made by the Auditor General, because they are very vague and dubious.
This leads me to conclude straightaway that there really was no plan. It seems clear that when the audit was done, you took things more seriously and prepared a detailed plan. I am going to come back to it because I have just read it. I'm also wondering about the deadlines you included.
I would like to turn to paragraph 5.61 in the Auditor General's report. Here is a bit of the basis of why I am so very worried about this.
It says:
In 2011, a National Defence report on the employment of full-time Reserve soldiers noted the need to determine the legal and policy basis for these full-time contracts. The report recommended that a full regulatory review of Reserve full-time employment be completed immediately. At the time of our audit, National Defence had not concluded this review.
My first question is, and it should be a very quick answer, has this review been concluded since the audit?
