Thank you for the questions.
I will first answer the question about how we are going to table the reports. Under the Auditor General Act, we can table four reports a year in Parliament. We usually make sure to table one in the fall and one in the spring. These reports will not be related to COVID-19. The reports that I tabled in February are basically reports that should have been tabled last year that were on programs that were not related to COVID-19.
There is a section of the act that gives us permission to table something of significance in Parliament, if necessary. We will use this provision of the act to table reports related to COVID-19.
I will try to table the reports in small groups so that you can digest them. I think that is when the members of the parliamentary committees will be able to tell us whether the pace is too fast or not. My intention is to give you enough reports so that you can choose what you will look at, and not so that you are forced to look at only the reports that I table. That's the pace we'll have. I am willing to hear your comments, if you have any.
The balance between COVID-19-related reports and reports on other extremely important topics is a topic of discussion in my office. This morning, with the senior leadership of the office, I was just discussing how to divide our efforts between reports for the commissioner, reports that focus on regular programs, and reports on COVID-19. We have tried to allocate our staff to ensure that we touch all three areas in a balanced way. One topic may take precedence over another in a certain year, but we will try to maintain that balance. Finally, if, in a report that is not related to COVID-19, we find something related to the pandemic, we will try to look at it.
We will try to do all of this at a fairly steady pace.
