It must have been the long weekend here. That's typical—par for the course. I probably owe some kind of fee to the committee for that, this far into COVID.
To pivot and get a little more serious, on section 2.34, it was noted again:
that schedules were...not an effective tool to manage projects’ timeliness. For several projects, government officials were not satisfied with the schedules they received. They considered the schedules to be incomplete, partly because the schedules were too general and underestimated the time needed to accomplish the different tasks. They...considered them to not be provided in a timely manner. For example, in the case of the Canadian surface combatant, it took more than 6 months after the start of the design phase for the government to obtain a design schedule that was sufficiently detailed to accurately track progress.
My question is for the assistant AG, Ms. Thomas. How did your department account for the delays and the potential costings of these delays?
