Mr. Chair, we conducted an audit of the child and family services program a number of years ago. The issues that we identified in that audit were similar those that came out during the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal decision, related mostly, I think, to funding and the lack of support for family services within the communities.
We don't have a particular role to play in terms of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal decision or the department's follow-up on that decision-making process, but because we have already done an audit on child and family services and because of this decision and the need for the department to do something further now, I suspect that at some point I will be going to the Auditor General and suggesting that a follow-up audit on child and family services would be appropriate. Exactly when that will happen will be determined as part of our audit planning process.
