Thank you, Madam Chair.
I have many questions. I find our colleagues' questions and the witnesses' comments very good. I heard Ms. Thomas talk about automating and updating systems. I also looked at Ms. Hogan's fairly comprehensive report. However, one thing missing from the report is the source of the issue. What caused all these issues?
The report contains many observations and recommendations. There's even an action plan. There seems to be goodwill on the part of the Department of National Defence. However, I'm trying to understand what led to all these supply issues that have been going on for years.
Ms. Hogan, can you shed some light on this?
I'm trying to understand how the current situation came about, despite the action plans, the recommendations, the analyses, the close monitoring that we're prepared to do and the transparency of the Department of National Defence, which also wants to report to us more often.
