Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for the Auditor General. I'm going to pick up where I left off earlier.
Thank you for your answer about the bottlenecks.
In your second report, you identified a very strong indicator that may reveal one of those bottlenecks: data collection. “The department’s data on how it processes benefits applications—and the organization of this data—was poor.”
“Poor” is a pretty strong word. According to your report, the department is unable to collect data properly and the data are poor.
Is there any reason to think things will improve?
