I think there are constraints on both sides to meet an advanced publication deadline for the public accounts of Canada. The government will need to advance some of its deadlines and speed up some of its processes. We can also find more ways to be efficient and effective in our audits, but it needs to be a shared responsibility. We can't just move a deadline and expect the auditors to do exactly the same work in less time. It really does have to be a shared compromise.
What's in our way is getting information in a more timely fashion and making sure the government has a better handle on its data and on providing it to us in a more usable format.
These are all issues that can be overcome but ones that need to be done collaboratively with the comptroller general's office, the Department of Finance, the Receiver General and our office. The public accounts of Canada are very large, and it takes some time to get through the audit.
