I had to do this personally in my own department with our new internal audit committee, with three external members. We put a very comprehensive report together, looking at both the recommendations from the Auditor General and the recommendations for the internal audit. I must say I found it very educational for me. These were, in some cases, areas in which we had not followed up. We did a fairly good job, I have to say, overall; we weren't in bad shape. But I think these new committees really have raised the bar on a whole number of fronts, including ensuring that we are following through not only with the Auditor General's audits but with our own internal audits. It stands to reason that we simply should be doing this as a matter of course. I think we're seeing that happen much more.
