Yes.
Basically, our audits do not include program evaluation, and that is very clear in the Auditor General Act. We audit whether the departments have measures and ways of evaluating their effectiveness and efficiency.
So when it comes to regulatory programs, we expected that the department would know what kinds of activities it needed to carry out to meet its requirements with respect to activities; then the resources would be allocated on that basis. What we found in our audit was that the department had not specified the activities or level of activity that were to be carried out.
