Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to turn again to the report, to the findings related to “No governance structure or budget” on page 15 of the English version.
The narrative we've heard so far, and the one we've been investigating through the Auditor General—whom we thank for her work—is the fact that, at the onset of the development of the ArriveCAN app, “no formal agreement existed between the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Canada Border Services Agency on their respective roles and responsibilities.” We find that those roles and responsibilities are critically important because they delineate things like the “project objectives and goals, budgets and cost estimates, assessments of resource needs, [and even] risk management activities.” This could have been avoided had there been a good governance structure to at least give red flags on this.
This is for the president of the Public Health Agency. You mentioned that there were weekly meetings to establish work on ArriveCAN, but it failed to accommodate for any of these really important governance issues. Can you tell us, just in 15 seconds, what was discussed in those meetings?
