Thank you, Chair.
I'd like to thank the Auditor General for coming to this meeting. In fact I'd go further and thank her for all the work she has done.
The offices of government in general--and many politicians--unfortunately are not held in the sort of esteem we'd wish, but your offices certainly are. I believe all the MPs here share in that public admiration of your offices. That's why we treat with such seriousness any erosion of the confidence that the public has in those offices, with the potential for these sorts of leaks. The purpose behind calling this meeting is to see whether or not we can go through a process that hopefully will arrive at a result and find the culprit or culprits in this particular case. It is also to try to guarantee that this sort of thing becomes not only a rarer and rarer occurrence--it's a very rare occurrence as is--but in fact something that never takes place.
I'd like to begin by requesting, Auditor General, would it be possible for your office to provide a flow chart, once the particular report that was referenced in the article has been tabled, of all the individual people who may have had this report or a draft of this report in their hands?
