Thank you, Madam Chair. It is indeed a pleasure to be able to join everyone.
First, I want to thank the Auditor General and her office for this report. The great work that your office continues to do is definitely improving the functions of our military but also of the government across all spectrums as well. Thank you so much.
I want to thank our officials from the Department of National Defence for being here and for addressing the concerns that have been raised by the Auditor General.
I'm going to start off my first bit of questions, Madam Chair, with the Auditor General.
In your report, you say that, overall, supply chain management by National Defence is “poor”. If you were to grade it as a schoolteacher, would that be a D, a D- or an F? I'm just trying to get a handle on how poor you consider the supply chain management to be at this point in time.
