Okay, accrual accounting.
As you're aware, Madam Fraser, of course through the times this issue has been a priority for the public account committee, and it's obviously been a priority as well for the government operations committee. I was really pleased that we had a wonderful working group at committee and did come up with a unanimous report, making the strong suggestion that we move forward.
We noticed it did not exactly mirror every one of your requests and every one of your concerns, the idea being let's get this thing moving, let's not allow it to wait for the complete package and have it delayed for some little reason. We wanted absolute movement from the government on this. The government has now responded and are suggesting they are willing to move forward. They've identified some areas they plan on moving on immediately, a bit of a timeframe to bring in some of the other areas for the appropriations. Obviously you've read our submission on that. In it we also indicated we wished to work very closely with your department to assess the evolution of this implementation process.
Are you prepared at this particular time to express a willingness to work with the committee—I would expect that would be natural—and do you have any particular suggestions that we're going too slowly, too fast, not slowly enough, not fast enough? Obviously you would like perfection, as would we. Is the government's response reasonable at this point?
