The reporting of expenditures is really what the public accounts is. It's an after-the-fact reporting of how funds were spent, not how they were intended to be spent. Is there anything you would recommend that the Treasury Board Secretariat and the Government of Canada should consider, by way of a reporting standard, to establish whether money was spent without parliamentary authority? You are aware that a notice of motion was tabled before the committee to call the Auditor General before us, because we have not yet heard a stand-alone testimony from the Office of the Auditor General on the G-8 legacy fund.
