Thank you, Chair.
Welcome, both of you, to our committee.
I'm looking at page 3. Under “Report on Plans and Priorities”, you have indicated in your remarks, Mr. Ferguson, that, “Looking forward, we have articulated a new set of strategic objectives for the Office and identified four areas where we believe we can make improvements” in your planning.
That's good. That's notable, but my question is really on activity. When making appropriations in the estimates process for the coming fiscal years, how do you really prioritize your office activities? Do you set quotas of audits and schedule different departments, agencies, and programs accordingly to meet that quota? Also, how does your office account for the unexpected needs of Parliament in the estimates?
