I don't believe so. Because no other departmental organizations have a requirement for an audit of their financial statements on an individual basis—they're all audited through kind of the rolled-up Government of Canada accounts—individually they don't undergo an audit of their financial statements. So for the few organizations that through their own enabling legislation had this requirement added, it was felt that there was no need for these particular organizations to be singled out with a different requirement from the others, in terms of risk. So I think the Auditor General was looking at where the risks are and auditing it on a more risk-based approach.
