When we do special examinations of crown corporations we have to give an opinion as to whether the systems and practices indicate essentially that the organization is well managed. When we think there is an issue of importance, we call it a significant deficiency. We have had cases, mainly lately, related to the need for long-term funding for crown corporations. That has come up in several.
What has happened.... Previously, special examinations had to be conducted every five years. It is now every ten years. We are questioning whether this indicator is still relevant if the special exam cycle has gotten much longer. It's not like a financial audit from year to year that you can track. I would expect that over a ten-year period things will have changed a lot. We need to look at this indicator and how we can get a better sense of whether issues are being addressed. Perhaps it's through some kind of follow-up on a more timely basis.
