Not that I'm aware of.
I think what we were looking for, Mr. Christopherson, was a very firmly established well-known protocol if there is a dispute. And these disputes arise every day: there is a dispute as to how a certain transaction will be recorded in the published statements of a department or the estimates.
There should be a protocol. Someone out there should have the final say. The system seems to be fairly well established in the private sector. In the government, as we've seen in the firearms situation, there didn't seem to be any system that we have seen, and we were looking to have a system in place.
I would have thought it would be under the leadership of the Comptroller General; that his office would have developed.... In fairness to Mr. St-Jean, the department was only reinstated in 2004, so I think the recommendation is that we are looking for a protocol.
