Again, thank you to the Auditor General and to your team for being here.
This session gives us a wonderful opportunity to understand more about the work you do, because indeed, in the various committees I'm involved in, I have the pleasure of seeing you and your work quite often.
I want to clarify something. Are the departments your customers, or are your customers Parliament and the people of Canada? Do the departments actually pay you for your services? This is why we're here this morning, to look at your estimates for your budget.
