I have personally been involved in work with Tanzania, in Africa, through the federal Auditor General's office, whereby we went over and did an assessment of the Tanzanian National Audit Office and its capabilities, particularly in such things as performance audits. We went through a rigorous analysis of their methodology, their outcomes, and the reports they produce and were able to provide them, I think, with a lot of good information. They were very receptive to it.
It also, though, taught me quite a bit. It taught me that there are a number of things you can learn from some of those developing countries. One thing—and I'm quite sure it exists in the federal Auditor General's office here as well, but it is something that in Canada we sometimes may tend to lose sight of—was that every single person in the National Audit Office in Tanzania recognized they had a role to play to make their country a better place. I'm sure this is also recognized in the Auditor General's office here in Canada, but I think we should never lose sight of it: that it is fundamental to the reason the Auditor General's office exists. It is to make better management of the federal government and to play a role in making Canada a better place.
