As you're going through this transition process, there are obviously difficulties. You said one of the most difficult things is following up. You start a process, but then to ensure that you're going to get the desired results you have to have some form of assessment of the process all the way through.
We've seen a classic example. This committee has been struggling with recommendations that the Auditor General made back in 2001 for accrual accounting. Yet we've never seen a full implementation, and every time we do a small degree of follow-up, there doesn't appear to be the proper emphasis.
My concern is that we have an adequate means of follow-up to ensure that this is working and effective as we go to the new process within your department.
May I be so bold as to ask you for your opinion on how could Parliament be most effective in giving you the tools necessary to ensure that we are getting a process that works, that's cost-effective, and of course that suits the national identity of what we are as a society?
