In terms of specifically what the Auditor General recommended in having a database and ensuring that we have systems that track the technical amendments, we can do that on our own. But I think what the Auditor General is also alluding to—and I won't speak for the Auditor General but let that office speak for themselves—is that having technical amendments that have not passed and having many technical amendments that are vintage is not good for the tax system, and passing this legislation is also important. So the department can do what it can do, which is to make sure that we have good processes in place, make sure that all the information is consolidated, make sure that we are bringing forward legislation, but the next step is when the legislation is brought forward, our duties stop at that point.
