Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
It is a real pleasure to have the opportunity to be part of this committee. I welcome the chance also to thank our public servants here today from the Auditor General's office, PSPC and the Treasury Board for the work that they do. The integrity that they bring to the table, I think, is unparalleled when we look at what happens elsewhere.
Indeed, it reminds me very much of some of these conversations and discussions that we had when I was on the public accounts and government operations committee three or four years ago: that the intent of the legislation and the policy was that, regardless of the government in power, the public servants would be empowered to make those determinations of what constitutes partisan advertising and would be able to act accordingly.
On that note, I would like to ask what the criteria are. Maybe give me a couple of examples of what constitutes partisan advertising.
