Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses for joining us here today.
Of course, we've had the opportunity to hear from the Auditor General on a number of occasions. I think it is quite right that you appear before a number of committees, given the seriousness of your last report tabled in the House of Commons. However, I am going to aim my questions at the Treasury Board Secretariat or the Treasury Board.
Given what we have learned over the past 18 months and certainly more recently through the procurement ombud's report, the Auditor General's report and actual testimony from witnesses, there appears to be a lack of oversight across government departments. One of the main reasons for this, as we heard yesterday, is the lack of enforcement of the Financial Administration Act across departments.
My question is for you, Mr. Huppé, or for whoever would like to answer it. Is your department responsible for ensuring that other departments comply with this act, or is it up to departments to police themselves?
