Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I would like to thank our witnesses for the information they have provided us. It is most helpful. I'm increasingly surprised at the extent to which the social insurance number was used.
My first question is to the officials. Last June, I believe, you appeared before the committee and you told us that you had given an independent audit firm the task of looking into the integrity of the social insurance number, among other things. I believe you went to PriceWaterhouseCoopers and that you are pleased with the effectiveness of the measures implemented and confirmed by the company.
However, you touched very briefly and very superficially on the areas that require improvement. Could you tell us very specifically what PriceWaterhouseCoopers found, and tell us whether they were the same points that the Auditor General had already raised? What are the issues? If not, how can we distinguish between the two sets of issues identified?
