Mr. Chair, as the member pointed out, it is absolutely important to make sure there is that central leadership. Starting right from the Federal Accountability Act, designating an accounting officer, placing the responsibility squarely on the deputy head of an agency is very important. The requirement for the deputy head to appoint a qualified chief financial officer is another important step.
Within the Officer of the Comptroller General, we have highlighted some of the work it has been doing to support the community. This is in addition, of course, to the policy suite renewal, whereby they have promulgated four particular policies that are also described in the chapter.
If we turn to page 12, under paragraph 1.19, you see that we indicated how the Comptroller General has been providing ongoing support. That includes having policy centres, which provides guidance and tools to the community. It also includes some efforts of monitoring through what we call the MAF—the management accountability framework. The Office of the Comptroller General will also be conducting some audits to support the information it receives from departments and agencies.
