Thank you very much, Mr. Chair and Mr. Albas.
I'll address my question to you, Mr. Watson. I just need to pursue the exchange we had a few minutes ago.
What Ms. Cheng said is that the reason the Auditor General's report stated that “the plan sponsor does not address the sustainability of the plans” is that there is no statutory onus on the plan sponsor to do that. As I understood her comments, there was some reluctance for anyone to take ownership of that because it wasn't statutory.
But am I correct in understanding that your department, which I understand to be Treasury Board Secretariat, in fact did take ownership for it and did in fact review the plans and take steps to help ensure their long-term sustainability? Is that correct?
