Yes, Mr. Chair.
We're talking in May of 2006 about an audit that was performed in 2005-06, looking back on transactions and decisions that were made in previous years. A conclusion has been reached by the Auditor General that has subsequently been accepted by the Treasury Board and Comptroller General, and I'm very comfortable with that.
Concluding today that the opinion of the Auditor General is the better opinion as to what should have happened two years ago in no way detracts from the fact that the officials at the Canada Firearms Centre and my colleagues elsewhere, to the very best of my knowledge, always operated with due diligence and a simple desire to do the right thing and report accurately to Parliament.
