If the question is whether there is additional burden because of these processes, personally, I believe the answer is no. As you are entering into a policy review process, you are looking for sources of information and data and feedback. The Auditor General, in its work, becomes a valuable source for us as we're moving into a review stage, as do program evaluations, as do many of the pieces of work done in departments and agencies and our own consultation processes.
This does not add any burden to the recipients of grants and contributions. The work is with us, in both responding effectively to the Auditor General's recommendations and in our daily work of the policy review process attached to the transfer payment policy.
