It would be difficult to determine how to do a performance audit on.... I would say whether it's a member of the Senate or a member of the House of Commons, how you do a performance audit on the work that any particular member does would be difficult. So I think that sort of compliance audit looking at the spending and whether the spending was for Senate business probably gets to the core of the important spending that would go on in a senator's office.
