Thank you.
My questions or comments are in a similar vein. I would like to start with Mr. Akrouche.
You mentioned the problems associated with compliance-based oversight. That phrase sort of caught my attention. I'm aware that in many organizations or many industries, compliance overtakes the actual result or goal.
This isn't just limited to government. Even in private industry, when one becomes so seized with the simple act of “butt covering” by complying with a regulation or complying with internal corporate requirements, actually serving the customer—or serving the public, in the case of government—is lost.
At the same time, Parliament exists to oversee and authorize the expenditures of the government, so how do you reconcile the problems of compliance-based oversight with the necessity of oversight?
