I'll ask Monsieur Domingue to expand on it, but before I do, I want to make sure everybody is absolutely clear that the federal government's year-end financial statements are on an accrual basis. As the Office of the Auditor General, we audit those financial statements and we've been expressing a clean audit opinion on those financial statements for the last 17 years. Those financial statements are on an accrual basis. They respect all the standards of the Public Sector Accounting Board with all the relevant transparency around that, so the financial statements are very transparent.
I think the transparency issue is more one of the estimates are on one basis and the year-end financial statements are on another basis, so we're worrying about the bottom line on this basis, but we're worrying about complying with parliamentary authority on this other basis. I think that confuses people.
I'll ask Mr. Domingue to talk about the comment.
