Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to those appearing before us.
The audit of the audit has produced a very favourable result. I want to say, I think on behalf of all parliamentarians, that when the audit of the audit comes back in a very positive light, it increases the overall confidence and trust that parliamentarians and Canadians have in our system of government and our process of government.
I want to congratulate each and every one of you.
I want to ask Mr. Ralston this question. The report came after many months and years of hard work to get it to this level. Would it have been possible to achieve these results without the extra influx of resources provided to the internal audit function through the process of increased accountability?
