Public Safety, Immigration dept get failing Auditor General failing grades

Here's my bottom line take on the Auditor General's report just tabled in the House of Commons.

No planning or coordination by Public Health Canada for emergencies such as pandemics
Changes to immigration rules not working
Some foreign workers getting permits with no job or no employer
Some landfills, sewage treatment plants on reserves have no permits
Foreign aid system a mess
Soldiers got tanks but paperwork wasn’t filled out
Tax laws still too confusing
Electronic health records foundation - Canada Health Infoway - “well-managed”

More later ...
