Thank you, Chair.
It's a pleasure to be back here at public accounts. I certainly missed this group over the last couple of weeks. It's fantastic to make the return.
Welcome to all of our witnesses. Thank you for being here today. It's always great to have the Auditor General with us, as well as our public service.
Ms. Hogan, your report states that you found the department made “unsatisfactory progress” in implementing the needed actions to address over 50% of the recommendations your office had made in six audits from 2015 to 2022. The report also shows that Indigenous Services Canada saw an 84% increase in funding from 2019 to 2020.
Why do you think your recommendations have not been implemented, despite the additional funding?
