You're right. That has been a very long-standing issue. When the Auditor General first made that recommendation, it was on the heels of Australia moving in that direction for accrual appropriations. The logic was that you've done it for your financial statements, your budget, so why not do it for accruals? Australia has done it. The public accounts committee has had an ongoing interest in this issue as well, because the Auditor General regularly provides an update on this.
At the time that recommendation was first made, there was not a great use of accrual information in decision-making in the government. If you think inside the government, memorandums to cabinet, Treasury Board submissions, those types of things have been augmented to include both cash and accrual information for decision-making, which is important. In addition, we augmented the reporting framework to include accrual-based financial statements for each department. That's been done.
