Public Accounts committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair, for the question. May I turn to my colleague? Thank you.

Public Accounts committee  Certainly. I will try to be quick about this. As we've said, we've updated our investment plan and our annual IT plan as part of our regular cycle, and we've presented it to the Treasury Board for their approval already. I'll move on. Enterprise end-state architecture, we'll

Public Accounts committee  If I may, we would need to go back to the transcript, but I think what my colleague was trying to say was that the—

Public Accounts committee  Thank you for the question. We were all involved in the decisions about which gates would get checked off as we implemented a new framework. The challenge for us has been IT projects that were already in progress, had been started, were a long way down the road to being complete

Public Accounts committee  Thank you for the question. As we've noted, we have completed our IT plan, our investment plan, and a number of things you see in our management action plan. I've looked at a pilot version of a report on benefits realization, and we have a way to go. We'll have that report ready

Public Accounts committee  Do you want me to read the five projects into the record?

Public Accounts committee  I would like to turn to my colleague in IT.

Public Accounts committee  Yes, me too. We worked on a procedure for how to assess benefits and how to identify benefits. That discussion happened in January at the committee which my colleague chairs. We're now in the process of going after that benefits identification for those projects. My safe guess

Public Accounts committee  I don't know the answer to that. Do you know the answer to that?

Public Accounts committee  I think it did result in some frequent and intensive conversations with our colleagues in Treasury Board Secretariat.

Public Accounts committee  We've been around since 2013...?

Public Accounts committee  I'm afraid I haven't come prepared to speak explicitly to that and I don't come from operations. My colleagues in enforcement and intelligence, I think, are better able to respond to that. I did follow the media, though, and I know that the funding is for us to increase our capac

Public Accounts committee  Thank you for the question. I'll turn to my colleague to describe the current state of play on the FOSS-GCMS transition.

Public Accounts committee  I would just add that what we're dealing with here in many cases are legacy systems that don't talk to each other, and a lot of what we're trying to do is overcome those silos. Much of the IT that we have is at least 20 years old and it came from the old Immigration, the old CCRA

Public Accounts committee  Thank you for the question. The idea of beyond the border is that collecting information earlier gives us more of an opportunity to assess threats and risks and to ensure that those threats and risks don't actually come to the border. We call it pushing the border out. The concep
