Thank you, Mr. Chair. I hope you had a good summer.
I want to welcome everyone back, including you, Madam Auditor General.
My first question is perhaps somewhat good-natured. When I read the first sentence of the briefing notes—we often wonder who audits the Office of the Auditor General—I thought you would talk about Marxism courses and other oddities that ended up on the front page of the Journal de Montréal this summer.
First, I would like to know how you felt when the shoe was on the other foot and management mistakes reported on by the media gave the impression of overall mismanagement? Will that deflect certain headlines that appeared in newspapers these last few years—headlines that were damaging to a government I was part of?
Second, does the review cover the actual management of your office or does it simply assess the quality of your work, without necessarily talking about the management component?
Third, if the foreign auditors did not include an assessment of your office's management in their review, who is in charge of doing that?
