No, those are absolute numbers.
They are expensive, because in many cases we need to bring in experts to assist us, depending on the area we're looking at. They are very extensive reviews of the program or the activity concerned. There is also a lot of time spent in the whole reporting phase on discussions of findings with departments, going back and forth. We don't have that kind of effort when we do financial audits. It's a very different kind of practice.
We would obviously be very interested if the committee has suggestions on areas they would like us to look at or areas we're looking at that they don't think would be of interest. Through the surveys we've done, I think most of our reports are in areas parliamentarians say merited attention. We try to provide recommendations where we think appropriate to improve the management of those programs.
