All right. You have just given us an overview of this scandal, which, let us hope, was an isolated incident.
Bill C-2, which is before the Senate, increases the accountability of deputy ministers.
I am not sure whether this is the right place to talk about it, but I will raise the issue anyway. My understanding is that accountability is shared by both administrative and political officials, whether they are political appointees or government deputy ministers, who must also be accountable to a minister for their activities.
It is expected that Bill C-2 will be enacted. Will it be able to help prevent future breaks in the audit chain?
