Mr. Chair, I think I've spoken in general terms...or fairly specifically about the impact of the reductions in terms of our audits. I think in terms of obtaining information, each audit that we do is done according to a rigorous methodology, and we will continue to do that for each and every audit we do. The way we go about an audit isn't changing, and in fact, as I said, we've put in place this new methodology to make sure that what we are doing is quite rigorous.
Our experience is that we do get cooperation from government departments when we are trying to obtain information. There was the recent court case where the judge made reference to the fact that there were cases where individuals did not necessarily provide us the information that was requested. That certainly, of course, is a concern to us, but we do find that is very much the exception rather than the rule. Again, if you go back over a number of years, you will find that there have been those types of incidents in the past. However, in general, we do get good cooperation.
We do have an understanding in place with the government about access to very sensitive documents and that type of thing. In general, we do obtain the information we need. If we didn't obtain information that we needed, we would bring that to the attention of this committee. We would say it quite clearly in our audit report if we came across an incident where we felt we were not getting the cooperation we needed. We would put that right in an audit report.
