If I may say, I do take the information from the Auditor General very seriously.
There are two things. First, in the public accounts there are the financial statements themselves, and there are notes to the financial statements. The notes to the financial statements talks about spending and borrowing authority. When there's a vote being blown, their report is a note to the financial statement; it's part of the financial statement. That was the first point.
The second point is that the scope of the Auditor General's audits includes authorities. Do they do a lot of work on this? Maybe not, probably not. But does it include authorities? Yes, because it's part of the note to the financial statement.
