Well, I would state that with all due respect, if you move the goalposts, it's easier to make the numbers look like you're fulfilling your mandate. We need to ensure, especially in this time of transparency and accountability that all parties are saying.... I think all parties want to see more of this. So how can we tell Canadians to rest assured that the Office of the Auditor General is able to do the audits it needs to? Because to quote what Mr. Ferguson said, there is “no shortage” of doing performance audits. That was his quote. There's no shortage of doing those. But what we have right now according to the statistics is a shortage of resources and a shortage of staff.
