Yes. Thank you.
At the time that the Auditor General presented his budget business case to the Minister of Finance in 2017, some of the mandates that Mr. Ricard was talking about were contemplated, such as the Canada Infrastructure Bank.
The work on the pipeline, Trans Mountain Corporation, wasn't contemplated at that point in time and we didn't receive additional funding for that.
Likewise, a significant change in legislation such as the Federal Sustainable Development Act, which enhanced the scope of the commissioner of the environment's responsibility to 96 entities from 26, did not come with an increase in funding. She has a responsibility that's a lot broader than she had before.
Without additional funding, new mandates create a challenge for us.
