Thank you, Chair.
I want to say thank you to both presenters. I had the pleasure of meeting them early on. Thank you very much again for reaching out. It's very important for new PAC members like myself.
I have one question, and I don't know if this is the appropriate setting—I guess it is—to ask this.
My experience on public accounts committees at other levels of government has been very good. I remember one conversation I had with the then NDP whip. He expressed disappointment in how effective different committees are nowadays. My limited experience on the federal committee in the last two years kind of reminded me of that conversation we had.
I don't know if there's a system or procedure, or whether it is within the Auditor General's power to audit the three Es that you mentioned early on, particularly the efficiency aspect of Parliament's committees. I just feel that a lot of times an emergency meeting is called—not at this committee, of course, but other committees—and at the end of it, nothing gets achieved. Everybody will say their piece, and then time gets exhausted, and they just move on.
Can you comment on this and maybe shed some light for me on the efficiency of committees and who kind of looks after that?
