Thank you, Chair, and thank you to Mr. Ferguson and the Office of the Auditor General for being here with us today.
I just want to refer to your comments in paragraph 8. I find that very interesting because it has certainly been part of the work that we've been trying to do here on public accounts, improving performance and improving management practices so that our citizens can get better service at the end of the day.
Can you comment further on this statement, “To address the concerns they raised, we are now communicating our findings and recommendations earlier in the audit process”?
You are dealing with senior management earlier. It's not a surprise when you give them the final report.
