Thank you very much.
Before I excuse everyone and wrap up this meeting, I have a couple of questions for the deputy auditor. The first is broad. The second is specific.
You didn't use much of your time at the start. Do you have general comments about today's discussion on the contracts? Is there anything you want to highlight or put a spotlight on for committee members to consider?
Number two, I want you to give us your thoughts on the tendency we've noticed where the government has accepted the recommendations while downplaying or questioning the findings, or even indicating that all is now well. It's a bit like accepting the sentence and promising to go through the remediation, but then saying, “Well, we didn't really do it” or “Everything is okay.”
This is difficult, I think, for a lot of people to understand, particularly when we all have cases in our offices where we know the service has been very bad. We're hearing now that your office didn't get documents that might have changed your report, and we're hearing, at the House of Commons, that the 100-day plan is just swimming and now all the information is accurate, which is what I heard today as well, at 90%.
What's going on? What do you make of this? What light can you shed on this for the committee to consider, please?
