We did have a number of gaps, in fact. It wasn't only a matter of the system that the Auditor General was just talking about. We certainly had challenges in terms of information management.
In some cases, there were good reasons. First, we have program analysts who come from all around the world, and sometimes they use different software, because it's what is available where they are.
As well, our projects under development often last three, four, five, six or even seven years. That means that in a department like ours, where many of the staff move around, there are changes over the life of a project. These are not excuses, but that is an explanation.
We absolutely have to have a centralized system to which everyone has access, whether they are working on site or in Kiev or Tanzania, for example.
However, it must be said that this was a well-known problem. We knew about it in advance. Once we received the request from the Office of the Auditor General, we knew that we would not be able to assemble all those documents in five days, the deadline given.
