Ms. Fraser, I would like to ask a question that is both quite simple and somewhat complicated.
The people of Canada see that their country is sending millions of dollars abroad. Very often, people think that this money is not being spent as was agreed upon. For example, if I were to send $44 million to Haiti, the intent would be to help the country, but I would not be there to check that that is in fact what happened. The people of Canada are not present either. However, you have a responsibility to see whether the program is meeting the objectives that were set, such as helping the people, and whether the conditions are being met, such as not using the money to purchase weapons.
Could you explain to me how your audit power could apply even outside the country? This is another sovereign nation and I do not know how this would work. It seems there is a grey area that I am unable to grasp at the moment.
