As you know, our mandate was expanded last summer to include additional crown corporations. In that bill, there was also a requirement that all crown corporations have special examinations, which means there are a number of special examinations that we will have to do. That addition to our mandate might require us to come back with a request for additional funding.
We have indicated to government that we have sufficient funding for this year. As I mentioned, we will be auditing, for example, Canada Post, and the Public Sector Pension Investment Board. We'll be starting a couple of special examinations and will be better able to assess what funds we will require going forward. For that, I would expect we will probably come back with a request for funding.
As for the proposed expansion of the mandate under the Accountability Act, as I mentioned, we would expect that it would be very unusual and rare that we would actually be auditing recipients of grants, contributions, and loans. We do not at the present time foresee asking for additional money. If we were to do work like that, it would probably just displace work that we have under way.
