Thanks, Chair.
Welcome, people.
I understand in reading the material that for the thirteenth consecutive year the Auditor General has provided a clean audit opinion on the Government of Canada's financial statements. I just heard within the last five minutes from my colleague opposite that there was some reference to the government spending money unlawfully.
Now, Ms. Cheng, could you correct that? Is that in fact the case? If it is in fact the case, then what's the reference that the Auditor General has provided a clean audit? Is that statement accurate?
