Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the minister and staff for being here today.
Minister, I would like to read a couple of quotes from the report. At the bottom of page 19, it says, “We found that most of the department’s performance indicators tracked spending to measure its progress against the goals.” Then it goes on to say, “Spending is not a good measure because it does not mean that results are being achieved.”
Would you agree with that statement, Minister?
