Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for being with us today.
I will take this opportunity to wish all the mamas out there a happy belated Mother's Day.
As I've been listening and taking this all in, I've noted the tone that some of our Conservative members have been using when addressing our public servants. I find it really interesting that the CPC is making unfair accusations of corruption and not following the rules, given the CBC article that came out today pointing out that members of the CPC have used House of Commons funds to fly their spouses to caucus meetings so they can attend partisan Conservative conventions. I found that a bit hypocritical, but I digress.
I'd like to ask our ADM a question about government fiscal responsibility, an important tool of that being, of course, the audit process.
Could you please compare the strengths and weaknesses of internal versus external audits in the federal government context?
