Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to the officials for being here today.

In British Columbia, due to some skepticism from some quarters—I won't say where it's from, Mr. Chair—the premier of the day, when they installed the carbon tax in British Columbia, said that they were going to have the Auditor General review every year and confirm—I believe it's done through the budget document every year—that 100% of the revenues got recycled.

Would the Auditor General of Canada have a similar review of the monies that come in and come out due to this backstop regime?
