As you noted, sir, one of the three pillars of our mandate is to provide support in the form of additional scrutiny on issues concerning the estimates. I think making sure that our reports on plans and priorities and our departmental performance reports...that's a better linkage. I think governments in Canada and other countries have struggled with performance reporting. We have a lot of progress to make. We'll be putting pressure on departments in order to improve their performance reporting.
