Absolutely, Mr. Chair. This is very significant.
In 2004 the internal audit function in government was not what it should be, and that's what we reported in 2004. What you've heard about from all the witnesses today are the significant efforts that have been put into professionalizing the function, with the active support of the Office of the Comptroller General and the establishment of independent departmental audit committees, with some very impressive people from outside the public service involved.
This is a success story. I'm very pleased to give credit where credit is due, and I congratulate all of my colleagues at the table.
