This is what I find repeatedly astounding. In any corporate measure, someone is put against the expectations when it comes time for their evaluation. There are real, serious consequences, in other sectors, if they do not meet the objectives their entity set out for them. We see this continually as a theme of this government. As someone who has passionately studied your reports for four years now, there is a continued theme of your report recommendations not being followed, prompting another evaluation from you. I keep hearing the words in my mind from the most recent ArriveCAN report about how the government need only follow and apply the recommendations. However, here we are seeing another occurrence where this did not happen.
What advice would you give this government?
More specifically, I have always had such compassion for the bureaucrats—having spent 15 years at Global Affairs Canada—because it's their masters the ministers who are fundamentally responsible, yet these seem to be incapable of following through on a long-term mandate to successfully deliver services for Canadians, or to hear from our most valuable and most vulnerable.
What advice do you have for the ministers and the government on a global scale?
