Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning, gentlemen.
Mr. Ferguson, when I read your reports yesterday, my first reaction was to be somewhat scandalized at the waste of public funds, once again. Action plans like Beyond the Border were put in place to ensure extraordinary efficiency. Now we see that we are wasting more than $1.1 billion. According to what I understand, there is currently some waste going on.
I'd like to get to the root of the problem. We invest a billion dollars and at the end, things don't work, or not very well. Is this a structural problem having to do with the organization? Will Bill C-21 solve everything, as by magic, and make everything work well in the future?
I think that Bill C-21 is an important contribution to improving the system. However, is there something else causing the problems that we should be aware of?
