Thank you, Mr. Forster.
I appreciate your comments, but we need to make very clear that you've been invited back to a public accounts committee. We've had the department here earlier. In 2013, again you released a report. Part of that report said you were going to follow certain guidelines, certain dates. You had the dates there. Then you said that to ensure the proper stewardship of public resources, it was important that you follow the plan. Then this year, some of those dates were completely changed around. Some of the guidelines that said you would accomplish this in 2016-17 became 2026-27. I guess that's the reason we wanted you back.
Our role as a committee is to hold departments to account after the Auditor General has filed a report. You came and said what you were going to accomplish in this timeline, and then almost unilaterally changed the timelines after you appeared. That's why we're inviting you back.
I'll turn it to Madam Mendès to begin, but I wanted to lay out some of the concerns that the committee has as a whole.
