Thank you, Chair.
Good morning, colleagues.
Good morning, Auditor General. I apologize for missing your introductory remarks. I had another set of responsibilities this morning.
There have been a lot of good questions from my colleagues this morning delving into the issues at hand and the role of the Auditor General and the environment that we're in. On Tuesday we had the deputy minister of finance at our committee. Like you, obviously, Mr. Sabia has had vast experience, I would say a treasure trove of experience, dealing with organizations and organizational complexity in every sort of capacity.
First, I thank Mr. Lawrence for commenting on this earlier. In the era of digitization, where we're working from a remote environment, be it in the basement of one's home or even a bedroom, from what we see these days, how can the AG maintain its effectiveness? Are there any concerns there?
Second, how can there be a lowering of costs for taxpayers who fund governmental organizations in this era when individuals can be situated at home? I'll start off with that question.
