Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
And, sir, thank you very much for coming today.
We have, from Suzanne Tining, the deputy minister, copies of the four reports that your group has done over the years. What we don't have is a written response to those recommendations.
I'm just a bit confused here. We had Mr. Allard, of the Legion, who is part of your organization, indicate to us when he was here that there has been no written response to the recommendations. The witness after him, the following day, said that you don't get one, that you talk to them, you discuss your recommendations, but there is no written response to your recommendations.
When we do a report from this committee, we send it to the minister. Within a certain allotted time they give us a written response to our recommendations and to our basic analysis of what we've heard. I'm wondering, you've been here since the beginning, have you ever insisted on, or has your group ever asked for, a written response to your recommendations? You've said that, like Darragh Mogan, they're very receptive to your recommendations. But we really don't know that unless they put it in writing to say what they think of your analysis and your recommendations.
So have you ever asked for written recommendations to your reports? If not, why not? I'm just a bit confused as to why you wouldn't insist on or you wouldn't receive a written response to your very worthwhile recommendations.
