Thank you, Chairman.
I have two inquiries that I would ask the committee to share with us. I am aware that the public accounts committee has an effective mechanism for monitoring implementation of its recommendations. However, what are the ultimate reprimands and other ways available in the unlikely event that an agency does not implement its recommendations?
Mr. Chairman, I also have a second question relating to the role of the public accounts committee in its relationship with the Auditor General's Office. To what extent does this committee influence the audits that are taken by the Auditor General?
