Mr. Chair, if I could get back to my regular time, I will ask Mr. Ralston to outline for the committee the impact of the required government reductions in staffing and financial resources for his department, the Office of the Comptroller General, and also for other departments.
In particular, you're responsible for the internal audit function, which is a centrepiece of risk management, control, and providing good accurate data to the government for performance improvement. Would you be able to provide similar information, as the Auditor General has done, as to the consequences to the internal audit function across government departments?
