Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I'm looking back, but I want to be helpful to the department, hopefully, going forward.

According to the Auditor General's report, in 2014 the department developed a procurement plan. However, it wasn't followed.

Deputy Minister Fox, I know that you are a great communicator, but briefly, if possible, could you tell me where the failing was? Was it a failure of resources from the government? Was it a failure of the department? Where did that failure happen?
