First, I want to compliment our guests today and thank them for being here. I'd like to remark that we've seen special examination reports from the Auditor General before and I'm very pleased to see so many green check marks in this report talking about how well the centre is running. The report has stated that the board is competent, independent, and well-structured. It is providing the broad oversight that the centre requires and that there are good management practices happening at the centre, in spite of a few things that have been mentioned.
I want to echo the comments made earlier by my colleagues that the report does indeed praise the board for being independent of management. That's why I believe it's also very important for us to extend that practice when the centre appears before the committee, so that the board is represented as an independent body.
With that said, there is one issue here, in terms of the performance expectations, that was identified by the AG as one of the weaknesses:
The Centre did not integrate performance expectations into projects. Its project performance indicators were not aligned with corporate performance indicators.
I know there are responses from management in the report. In the broad sense, can I hear from you how you will move forward to make sure that those performance expectations that are set at the corporate level are reconciled with those set at the project level?
