Typically, reporting of programs in government has been indicators around outputs like the number of people who have been evacuated and the number of people who have been repatriated. We contribute to the annual report of the government in terms of how Indigenous Services Canada and all of its suite of programs are advancing the UN's sustainable development goals.

I think the Auditor General's point was that within your actual, specific program, can you look at indicators that will be more reflective of those broader objectives of well-being, those broader objectives around sustainable environments? We can do that. We're going through a total renewal of our departmental results framework, which we see as a very important transformation.

Again, our department is not old. Our department was struck through a November 2017 order in council that enabled legislation a few years later. We've also faced multiple years, it feels like, of the pandemic in the midst of that. Our ability to do the full transformation that we've wanted to do has been a bit slowed down, but the departmental results framework, I think, is going to be absolutely key.

We agree with that recommendation, and it's linking things like mental health. Mental health and well-being, in the context of emergency preparedness and response, is a new concept for many. It's not something that was typically thought of in the context of planning efforts. We have looked at our whole health emergency preparedness plan in the context of the first nations mental wellness continuum framework.

I think it is just a question of making sure that the indicators of that program are more directly linked and establishing this and documenting that in the context of the program's management control framework and performance results framework.
