I wouldn't presume to speak for foreign investors or purchasers of debt, but there have been studies that show that debt-rating agencies do credit organizations for financial statements with unqualified auditors reports; that you will, in the private sector at least, pay a premium on your borrowings if you don't get a clean auditor's report, and in fact you might not even get those financial statements accepted by a securities regulator.
So yes, it is a noteworthy achievement. Canada can quite rightly, in our view, be proud that we have a good set of summary financial statements.
