Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to the whole team for being here today to once again answer our questions. It's now my third time participating in the release of new reports, and I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of it a bit, so bear with me while I go through some questions.
I want to address my colleague Ms. Kusie's comments about recurring themes, which I've also noticed. Certainly, it's frustrating as elected people when we see the intention of policies at a high level not necessarily filtering down and impacting people the way they're meant to. It really speaks to, I think, the rubber hitting the road, and the impact and the implementation not quite reaching the goals that we always intend for them.
That being said, I want to be fair in noting that there are improvements made in different areas over time and that we're constantly working to better ourselves. The work you do, Ms. Hogan, at your office with your team, is so critical to making sure that those departments are held accountable and making sure that they're constantly improving.
I want to reference first the “New Fiscal Initiatives With First Nations” report, specifically with respect to the default prevention and management policy. Your report noted that the first two levels of what I would call “accountability oversight” had been removed. Do we know why those have been removed?
