Thank you for your question, Mr. Deltell.
I came on the job on April 11, 2016, so I wasn't there to make that recommendation. I am, however, up to speed and can therefore share with you the information I have.
The then minister, Ms. Foote, was briefed on the subject, but that was at the end of February. The issue wasn't whether to go ahead but, rather, whether the system was ready. The third-party study indicated that we should proceed with implementation, that we had checked with the other departments, that everyone was ready, and that the system would be implemented on February 24. Therefore, that's what was done.
