Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The Auditor General has been in contact with the Auditor-General for Australia. I have been in regular contact with the Deputy Auditor-General for Australia. We have been having some initial discussions on the terms of reference for the peer review.
They intend to make their first preliminary planning visit to us on site and to start to scope out the peer review in, I believe, June of this year. At that point, we will start to finalize the terms of reference of the peer review, and I think we would be more than prepared to share those terms of reference with the committee at that time. The details of what other countries will be involved are still under discussion. Australia has not made final decisions on that question. We expect they will make a further visit, during which the majority of the audit work they will be doing would take place, this fall and perhaps over the early winter.
We very much wish to have this peer review completed, reported with the Auditor General's response, and made public by the summer of 2010. The summer or fall of 2010 is when it will be completed.
