Thank you, Mr. Williams. That's a really good question.
Of course, I'm interim, and I've been in the job about three weeks at this point, but what I would say is that on technical matters such as accounting treatment and so forth, I feel pretty confident that the view of the Comptroller General would be the final say on those accounting treatments. If there is some need for resolution, it's going to have a very high level of transparency.
At the end of the day, I personally, as an accountant, have a code that I have to work by, and if I thought something was really wrong, it would be my personal accountability not to associate myself with it.
The worst possible scenario is that you would resign over it because you thought it was wrong, and hopefully nothing would ever come to that.
As for my colleagues at the deputy minister level—and before coming to this job I was the associate deputy at National Defence—I think they take the views of the Comptroller General pretty seriously. They don't want, as accounting officers, to have the Comptroller General saying they're not doing something right. They're going to be coming here as accounting officers and having to say what they've done and learning whether or not it's appropriate. I think they'll take the views of the office quite seriously.
