Thank you, Chair, and thank you, Minister, for appearing before the committee.
We've heard testimony from you and several witnesses about the Federal Accountability Act that was introduced in 2006 and described in some quarters as significant.
On the other hand, this committee has heard testimony from several expert witnesses that would describe it as being akin to comparing the financial viability of General Motors with Chrysler's. In other words, it didn't go nearly far enough. It included 67 new crown corporations, but it also contained a number of new exemptions and exclusions. Could you give us the number of those exemptions and exclusions and outline a few of the actual bodies that have been exempted?
