Thank you, Mr. Owen, for your question. It's an important one, in the sense that we really saw the restoration of the role of the Comptroller General as a very good move, because essentially, again, when you're talking about mirroring initiatives taken in the corporate sector, tone is set at the top, and I think that is an underlying theme that we wanted to leave with the committee today.
The Comptroller General has very, very clear responsibility in terms of not only strengthening the internal audit process but also building capacity. We've talked a lot about internal audit, and the Auditor General and others have talked a lot about it. We haven't really talked a lot about strengthening financial capacity in the public sector, and in that respect, when I mention launching a number of programs, we are launching a number of programs, but we hope that setting the tone at the top, reinforcing the role of the chief financial officer, will trickle down.
The group you heard before us are financial officers. We met with them last week, and they're all in the throes of seeing how they can contribute to this capacity building. A new emphasis on the professionalization of the public service, obtaining appropriate professional designations such as the Certified General Accountants Association designation and other accounting designations, is really a key role.
As I said, the role of the office of the Comptroller General sets the tone for this across the public sector.
