Thank you very much, Auditor General.
As a new member to this committee, my first question is really to take the big picture view.
If I recall, I believe you have a 10-year term and it's your fifth year in the term. Halfway into the mandate of your 10-year term, what are some of the challenges you see?
I know that Mr. Williams alluded to it in terms of the additional responsibilities of crown corporations. You talked about those additional responsibilities being taken into account with Bill C-43, and then there are additional responsibilities that were allocated in the Accountability Act, if it passes. I know you haven't costed it out, but are those going to put major strains on your mandate going forward? How do you plan to cope with that?
There's the big picture question and, more specifically, the costing of additional funding required for the examination of crown corporations.
