Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you, Mr. Auditor General, and also all the officials for joining us at committee here today. I always enjoy reading your reports.
Mr. Ferguson, I'd like to start off with questions for you. I'd first like to say that our government is very pleased that the Auditor General concluded that our government has appropriate practices to analyze proposed tax expenditures, monitor existing ones, and share information with the Canada Revenue Agency.
In your report you stated that Finance Canada does a good job of analyzing new tax measures and monitoring existing ones. Can you elaborate on your findings and how the government is providing transparency and accountability?
