I'll try to be brief.
This was a follow-up report on two previous audits that had been undertaken. In those two previous audits there were actually 21 total recommendations. This follow-up audit focused on 13 recommendations, and they assessed our progress against those 13 recommendations.
At the end of the day, we were judged to have succeeded on seven of the 13 recommendations, but the Auditor General felt that certain ones were more important, which led to the final conclusion.
We did not agree with the final conclusion of the Auditor General for a number of reasons. First of all, the methodology to have seven of 13 be successful, to make progress, but not to be totally successful on the other six, I did not feel yielded that overall conclusion. Also, the Auditor General's scope of the audit in looking at our efforts to combat the underground economy was overly limited in terms of certain of our audit activities. For instance, it did not pick up on all the work we do every year on non-filers, non-registrants, and on the hundreds of millions of dollars of additional taxes recovered because of that.
I simply wanted to point that out to the Auditor General. She was very comfortable with the comment I put in the report, because ultimately we wanted to be able to discuss openly that I felt overall the bottom-line conclusion was not a fair conclusion.
