Mr. Chairman, I'm very happy to respond to that question.
In terms of the wildlife issues, our one concern was with respect to the appointments to boards. We heard about this through the course of the audit. When we examined it in detail, however, we did find that the departmental officials were making recommendations in a timely manner, either to the government or to the minister, depending on the recommendation. The concern was in the actual processing and appointing at the political level, which we didn't look at. We looked at what the administration recommended and then we would see when the appointment was made.
