Thank you, Mr. Fonberg.
There's one issue I want to clarify here for my own purpose. You gave us a good review of the estimates process and some of the roles of the Treasury Board Secretariat, but when I came to the meeting, I was expecting some comments from Monsieur St-Jean.
I view this review as your role that is very vital to the study of the committee. We have the whole issue of internal audit, where we're going with that, and what some of the emerging issues are. We have the expected enactment of the Federal Accountability Act, and the deputy ministers will be appearing before this committee as accounting officers. There has to be a development of a protocol in terms of what is expected of the deputy ministers and the whole issue of accrual accounting. There is the whole issue of the qualifications, roles, and duties of the chief financial officers in all the departments and crown agencies here in Ottawa.
When I came to this meeting, I thought this was going to be your show, yet you're quiet. I really think the committee will want to hear from you.
I'll turn the floor over to you, Mr. Williams, if you have a comment.
