Mr. Chair, it certainly would not be within a year. We would usually only go back two to three years after an initial audit, especially for something as complex as an expenditure management system. Quite honestly, I would expect it would probably take at least that, if not longer.
What we would expect is for the department to produce a plan, with their timeline of when they believe they can address these issues. We would then see if they have met those timelines. For us to go in earlier, of course, leaves us open to criticism that we're not being realistic and are not being appreciative of the complexity of the issues.
So we would much rather have it that the department sets the timeline. Based on that, we would then do the follow-up audit.
