Yes, I'm quite comfortable in terms of our progression to full accrual budgeting and reporting, and I would say from the perspectives of a professional accountant, the auditor, and the comptroller, the benefits have been there.
But I also want to be up front in saying that I don't think we've realized all the benefits that we are yet to get. I think the biggest challenge we see is taking it from the higher level down to the financial staff and into the program staff.
I would say one of the ongoing challenges with program people is that they need to better understand what information is available to them and how to use that information, not just for a year-by-year appropriation debate, but for a discussion in regard to long-term operating and capital commitments. That's the area where our province still needs to move to.
In regard to your question about whether there have been some problems, absolutely. We had some challenges on the systems front, not surprisingly. Training took a long time, and some people found it difficult, even despite training, to understand exactly where we were going.
But in the end, I think it's well accepted in B.C. now, and I think as new generations of public servants take over from those of us who have been there a little longer, it'll probably be easier yet.
