Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank you gentlemen for coming forward today representing the Auditor General's Office and doing an excellent job in this audit.
Going about reading this, it's a little bit surprising. I'm still a rookie member of Parliament. I understand that in 1998 the Auditor General conducted its first large audit audit of the department. In 2001 you followed up and once again recommended that there be an acceleration of the implementation process. Here again in 2007 we have an audit that shows, quite frankly, that the implementation has been an abysmal failure to this point. That's what I read out of this.
Could you suggest to us some of the main issues that you see out of this that our government has to clean up from its predecessors?
