I can start by explaining the process described by the Comptroller General.
When programs and program terms and conditions are approved by Treasury Board, whether it's a grant or a contribution, we're going to have information about who can access the fund and for what purposes, that is, what objectives they want to achieve with these programs.
Subsequently, the process for awarding contracts or entering into agreements with recipients is managed within the departments, with the deputy ministers. Part of that is to have all the internal monitoring required to make sure that the business processes have all the necessary controls and approvals, so that they're compliant and consistent and everyone follows the same processes.
