There's no forum, unless the committee...and that is why I am extremely grateful to be here today. I really am. Thank you, Mr. Chair, for affording me the opportunity. I did not have the resources. I did not have the venue. The jurisdiction of the Auditor General is extremely broad, and I thought that throughout the process we, collectively and individually--and I'm talking about every member of my staff--had answered every aspect openly. Every time I came out of those three days of cross-examination, the institutional lawyer would say I'd answered every aspect.
So I invite every member of the committee to read my written submission carefully and to call upon other members of my team, who are extraordinary.
The act is working, perhaps not exactly the way you would have liked, or perhaps a little earlier, but with respect to serious wrongdoing, my imprint is on 15 investigations. My imprint is also on other investigations and probes that have been looked at and vetted and cross-verified.
