Thank you.
I have some interest in the issue of the audit function for which the supplementary estimates money, or part of it, is being allocated. I know that in today's environment the question of measuring results is very important, and of course the Auditor General from time to time wants to do that very thing and cannot accomplish that function unless the department involved has measures in place and information gathering.
I understood from some of the earlier answers that this initiative has been in the works for three years, and it's now in the final year, and consequently additional funding is required. I heard some comment about the process being to appoint an advisory committee, unless I misheard that, and prepare a risk-based audit plan. So I just wanted to get a little more detail about that. Some of the questions I would have about it are whether that advisory committee is already in place, and has the risk-based audit plan already been prepared? How much of this allocation is addressing that particular issue? Can you, without too many words and without taking too much of our time today, tell me what it is that the audit will be measuring in general terms? I would be grateful.
Thank you.
