As the CFO of the RCMP, Mr. Chairman, Mr. Gauvin has pointed out that he didn't know about this, didn't know about that, didn't know about the next thing, but now we have these checks and balances in place, so now the committee, these senior officers, are fully informed about contracting policies being followed through and so on.
It seems a little like the audit committee at Hollinger, Mr. Chairman, where they really weren't paying too much attention.
Now, as the CFO, Mr. Gauvin, why were you not ensuring that the checks and balances were there so you could assure yourself they were done properly? I presume you were signing off on the financial statements.
