Mr. Chairman, again, the RCMP is responsible for around $4 billion right now. That's the total budget. We have 26,000 employees across the country. For this particular unit, there was a unit within HR called “National Compensation”, which was responsible for this particular activity. What happens is, as in any other organization, there are delegations of authority. So these people were delegated authority to run this program.
As the Auditor General mentioned, it was not a question of not having the controls; it was a question of people going around the controls. So as soon as the allegations came, we asked for an internal audit. Internal audits are done on a regular basis, but you can't audit everything the same year. So it would have come out. Unfortunately, it took a little while before this was totally identified. The internal audit was done and this was identified. But as soon as it was, action was taken to make sure that it wouldn't happen again.
