The Auditor General said not long ago, Mr. Ralston, that one of the key criteria to successful programs was consistency in funding. That was a principal tenet of the Office of the Auditor General in a summation of his term as interim Auditor General: consistency in sustained funding for an initiative. That's one of the things I'm exploring here, which you can appreciate, I'm sure.
We've had a certain amount of progress and success in the comptrollership function in terms of controlling financial management and risk management. I was probing to find out whether or not part of that success was related to increased resources. I received information from the table that it had a very inconsequential impact on it and that it was more related to professionalization. Now I'm trying to find out whether we'll be able to sustain that success with the professional bodies we have in place, and the professional people we have in place, with fewer resources.
