Just very quickly, Mr. Chairman, it's not as though we've had no financial management framework. We have continued to work at identifying efficiencies, identifying gaps, and to work at them. We haven't landed up in exactly the place we would like to be. Again, given the kinds of pressures—and would I turn to the vice-admiral on this—we did tend to manage through the nineties a little bit hand-to-mouth, given the nature of the challenges we actually had. At that time, as with a lot of other government departments, sometimes the easiest or convenient thing to do was to let go of some internal financial management and other processes.
I think the world has moved a long way since then, for a whole variety of reasons. It is no longer an acceptable practice. I think the Auditor General has been very clear on that. The Treasury Board Secretariat is clear. The government is clear.
The Auditor General said she'd come back and look at us in four years. I have no problem with this committee holding us to account on a much more regular basis than that, in terms of progress.
