The answers, Mr. Chairman, are yes and yes, that is, yes to both. I would like to believe that this committee has confidence in the Office of the Auditor General, in the rigour of our planning processes. I can assure you we are very rigorous in terms of assessing government operations, looking at departmental risk, looking at government-wide risk, looking at areas of significance, consulting broadly with internal and external stakeholders, and coming up with a good list of subjects for audit. So I would like to believe that committees have some confidence, and are entitled to have some confidence, that the OAG has a rigorous process behind all of that.
At the same time, I absolutely encourage individual MPs, if they have a particular area of concern, to bring that to our attention, and we will feed it into that process of what we call one-pass planning, to consider another perspective, a particular issue, that may be of concern to an individual member of Parliament. The member of Parliament may be dealing with a very specific or individual situation, but it might in fact be symptomatic of a broader matter that warrants the Auditor General's consideration—as long as the expectation isn't that we do every single one of those, because we physically can't. We couldn't accommodate everything, but if members have a particular concern, they are encouraged to bring it to my attention or the attention of my parliamentary liaison people, and we will do our best to consider it in our planning process.
So, yes and yes.
