Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First I want to commend you, Auditor General, for this very thorough and insightful report. It rightfully points out the accomplishments of government as well as areas in need of improvement.
The report points out that transfers to provinces and territories represent a significant portion of federal government spending. I think 23% is what you said in the report. You also point out that moneys transferred to other levels of government depend on existing accountability mechanisms to ensure they get to the right place. Can you describe how provinces and territories are held accountable for the use of these funds?
