Our accounts and our financial statements are audited by the Auditor General of Canada. The role of our accountant, or financial officer, has to do with management. The executive provides the statements in the annual reports. From that point of view, I agree that it is important to check accounting titles. We have renewed this practice and we are constantly renewing it. In this case, unfortunately, we relied on the candidate’s good reputation and the references we received. We relied on his good will and we trusted him.
