Mr. Chair, subsequent to the transition, there will no longer be an arm's-length organization that's in charge of the funding. That's going to be transferred to us, and then we'll be delivering for sustainable development technology development purposes and helping entrepreneurs. The accountability and the structure that will exist will be the same as that which applies to a departmental corporation, as we have it now with the NRC IRAP. All the financial administration, all the sort of public administration frameworks that are in application for departments that are common in our system and to audit committees—public disclosure, the financial administration of funds in the public service—will apply, and there'll be no arm's-length body involved.
