Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thanks again for your comments, Mr. Orencsak.
You successfully transitioned from cash basis accounting to an accrual accounting system. Mr. Grewal gave us the example of perfect harmonization between the main estimates and cash basis. He said he was happy that a balance would be achieved.
However, unfortunately, given the budget presented to us by the federal government, we know that a balance will not be achieved and that we will have a deficit. We can't do anything about that. Fortunately, the Office of Parliamentary Budget Officer, created by our Conservative government, provides parliamentarians with relevant information on those issues.
I couldn't resist it.
You still had to go through transformations.
You mentioned in your report that a hospital had to switch to accrual school, so how did you make the transition? All the provincial departments had to follow your lead, so can you tell us how it was gradually implemented throughout the provincial structure?
