Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the Auditor General and her office for the departmental plan and for ensuring that the work of her office can continue.
I want to touch on some of the items brought forward by some of my colleagues, but before I get into that, I'll ask questions about the incident that several members have already spoken about in regard to what was reported in public about two employees.
You and Mr. Hayes spoke about some of that important work. You also described the annual process that is required for employees. Was it through that annual process and in the reporting of documents that you were made aware? Did they declare that through this process of annual review, or did your office have another tool through which you were able to review that?
