Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Auditor General, for this very important work and for being here with us today in order to speak to it. Thank you to all our witnesses.
Obviously, there are a number of items of concern in this report. One thing that stands out is that a lot of the problems result from these virtual inspections. All of us can appreciate that cameras do lie, contrary to popular belief. The Internet is full of all kinds of images that misconstrue things.
As I understand, it was up to the employers to provide your inspectors with photos that would demonstrate that they were meeting the requirements, yet we find that in 93% of the cases, there were no photos of the general accommodation. In 60% of the cases, there were no photographs of the isolation spaces.
I would like to know why it was decided to do virtual inspections. Is that going to happen this year as well, given that there are a lot of obvious shortcomings with this particular process?
