Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you for the invitation to appear before the committee today.
Employment and Social Development Canada welcomes the report and accepts the recommendation pertaining to the benefits delivery modernization program.
At the time of the audit, the benefits delivery modernization program was still in its program development phase and the governance structure had not yet been finalized. While a governance structure had been in place throughout the project, it was finalized in February to take into consideration the creation of the deputy ministers core services committee.
This addresses the Auditor General's recommendation for ESDC.
Again, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today.
