For example, when a department presents a submission to Treasury Board, in particular to get approval for a project that exceeds the limit allocated to its authorities, we can review the submission, and if we think the project involves somewhat higher-risk elements, we can decide to put it on our follow-up dashboard and get more involved. In other cases, the departments come to us and ask us for help. In our experience, the agencies and departments are all very motivated when it comes to making sure their programs are successful. They seek help when they can get it, and we are very happy to work with them. We monitor the biggest projects in the community, which is not a huge one, closely. We are aware of developments and we are able to identify the risk level.
