Thank you.
I have three questions for you.
In the presentation, you said that for nine years in a row we've had a surplus and we are one of three countries that have had an unqualified opinion from the Auditor General.
As a member of the public accounts committee...if I were in private life, I know what an unqualified opinion would be—everything is audited and materiality is much lower. So how does the Auditor General give an unqualified opinion, and help me be comfortable that the accumulated errors are not going to be a problem? I think all members here want to ensure that we look after the funding of the government.
This will be the second question, so I might as well give it to you, so you know where I'm coming from. We were looking at departments, and departments seem to have less accountability, so therefore, when you're consolidating the information, the departmental financial statements may not be as kosher as you want them to be. How does the AG, as the external auditor, have a comfort level? I know you have a billion-dollar materiality, but what else gives you comfort that you can give an unqualified opinion?
