"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1999581\" data-originallang=\"en\">I'm just trying to establish where parliamentarians would look for the strategic direction. Normally we look to a minister, but in this case I'm getting the sense that we would look to the president of the agency, or others in management.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1999582\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I commend the agency for responding to the Auditor General's report. It shows you how far you can come with a good performance audit. It can help. But you've mentioned that there's some decentralization of some functions, so I'm seeing this whole organizational flow chart mutate, and I wonder where the authority actually is. Do you feel it's on your desk, or is it your minister, or is this decentralization going to delegate the thing further away from the minister?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1999581\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'essaie simplement de d\u00e9terminer \u00e0 qui les parlementaires devraient s'adresser pour obtenir de l'information sur l'orientation strat\u00e9gique. Normalement, ce sont les ministres qui nous renseignent \u00e0 ce sujet mais, dans ce cas-ci, j'ai l'impression que nous devrions nous adresser \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sidente ou \u00e0 d'autres cadres de direction.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1999582\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je f\u00e9licite l'agence d'avoir pris des mesures pour donner suite au rapport de la v\u00e9rificatrice g\u00e9n\u00e9rale. Cela d\u00e9montre tout ce que peut apporter un bon rapport de v\u00e9rification sur le rendement. Un tel rapport peut vraiment \u00eatre utile. Mais vous avez parl\u00e9 de la d\u00e9centralisation de certaines fonctions et, devant les transformations de votre organigramme, je me demande qui d\u00e9tient v\u00e9ritablement l'autorit\u00e9. Avez-vous l'impression que c'est votre ministre, que c'est vous-m\u00eame, ou que toute cette d\u00e9centralisation va faire en sorte que le pouvoir va \u00eatre d\u00e9l\u00e9gu\u00e9 \u00e0 une personne encore plus \u00e9loign\u00e9e du ministre?</p>"
