Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First, I would like to thank you for taking part in this exercise. It is always nice to see you and to get answers to our questions. I thank you for being here this morning.
The information I am getting here this morning is music to my ears because our committee is often trying to make systems more effective.
According to what I see here, public debt charges decreased by 5.8% from $28.2 billion in 2013-2014 to $26.6 billion in 2014- 2015. The work that has been done is positive. Throughout your presentation, you talked about the reduction in the accumulated deficit-to-GDP ratio. That is very good and we can only be pleased about it.
Comptroller General, in the presentation that you gave following the Auditor General's remarks, you mentioned that this testifies to the high standards of the government's consolidated financial statements.
I understand that the existing standards are very effective. Good work was done in the past and an effective system was created. We are now getting into the fine-tuning. Is that correct?
