Very good, merci.
That concludes the time for this hearing.
On behalf of the committee, we appreciate you being here today. We very much appreciate that you understand our point regarding the chair. I think we got off to a little bit of rocky start in terms of your response, but you quickly understood where we were going and the reason for our concern. We very much appreciate that understanding.
I would also underscore the remarks of my colleague Mr. Chen, who went out of his way to say that, as these things go, this is a pretty good report.
Oftentimes, it must feel to some departments like it's a no-win situation in front of public accounts because it's never perfect. Given some of the things that we deal with, things can get pretty hairy in this place, but the idea is that we're trying to change behaviour at the end of the day.
Believe it or not, we're not looking for headlines. We use these reports to bring matters to full light. I'm speaking as much to the rest of the government as I'm speaking to you. Our point is to change behaviour.
In a perfect world, we would love to have reports like this get even better every time. There will always be a few things, but in the main, given how harshly we hold people to account who are way off where they should be in terms of how they do things, when we get a department or an entity that comes in and for the most part is doing a pretty good job, that needs to be recognized. That's what we are all about. That's why I wanted to underscore Mr. Chen's comments, who by the way is the newest member of this committee, and quickly understood the culture here and what we're trying to achieve.
On behalf of my colleagues and this committee, thank you so much for your appearance. We will be issuing a report, and if we have any follow-up business with you, you'll hear from us in that regard.
Unless there's any other business to come before us in the matter of this chapter, I will suspend the committee as we prepare to go into our business session.
Thank you again.
