Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
We have seen since the beginning of this audit that twice, at two moments, the government was aware that there was an alarming report to not go so fast, and unfortunately the government decided to push the button in February. That was the first leg. The second leg occurred on April 26, 2016.
That's where it gets interesting. A few days prior, 10 days before pulling the trigger on the second phase of implementation, a House of Commons committee held a meeting.
That was on April 19, 2016. Ms. Baltacioglu, secretary of the Treasury Board, was in attendance. This is what she said at the meeting:
Before the next phase of departments are brought onboard to the new system, Public Services and Procurement Canada, which is the responsible department, is checking with every department and identifying the areas that we have problems with. We are feeding into them and alerting them if we are running into problems. If they feel we're not ready, they will delay. If they feel that 99% of it is going to work, then we will go forward.
Madam, has there been 99% success?
