Thank you.
I was the author of the Auditor General's observations, which would be published in the Public Accounts of Canada on an annual basis and are now published in our financial commentary report that supports this committee. We often found that when it came to processing pay there were numerous errors. It comes back partially to data quality. As mentioned earlier, any new system is only as good as the information that you put into that system.
Information needs to be accurate, and information needs to be entered in a timely fashion. We did make a few recommendations about the shared responsibility across the entire government to ensure that individuals are properly paid. It is truly that responsibility across all departments.
