Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'd like to take a moment to acknowledge all the witnesses here today.
My first question is for Ms. Hogan.
Good morning, Ms. Hogan, and welcome back.
You were asked for a report following the passage of a motion on January 29, 2020. I appreciate the insight gained from your expertise and your office's expertise. To be honest, I think that if you weren't here to keep an eye on things, I would be even more concerned than I am now. I'm amazed at the inertia that can be found in the federal government. I would even say that the findings in your report are quite troubling. I want to repeat the adage that “the more things change, the more they stay the same.”
I can see that departments, crown corporations and a variety of organizations are slow to provide the information that you need to complete the audit mandate given to you by Parliament.
What can you tell the committee about your issues in this area? Can you think of any examples to provide some context?
