The role of the Office of the Auditor General is to help support Parliament in holding the government to account. We provide an independent, objective, credible source of information in order for Parliament to be able to do that. Clearly, any measures that would increase or add to transparency and oversight and accountability are ones that our office would applaud and is part of on a daily basis.
Adequate funding is, unfortunately, causing some constraints for us right now. If we had proper funding, we'd be able to carry out our mandate to the degree that we would like to be doing and believe that we should be doing.
As I mentioned, in addition to turning my attention to the Investing in Canada plan and COVID-19, once my nomination is done I will also be looking at continuing the dialogue that was started by my predecessors to secure sufficient funding for our organization.
