Then you can answer this question about internal audit. My position has been for years that an internal audit should be under your direction at the Treasury Board--centralized, with internal auditors seconded to departments and moving around every two or three years so they don't become co-opted into the system, as we saw at public works under the sponsorship scandal. Do you agree that this is a good policy? If you don't, why not?
