Our organization follows very rigorous processes and standards to ensure independence and objectivity when we carry out audits, when we interact with departments. All that the lack of funding has done was cause us to reduce some of our work in the past, which we're now slowly ramping up.
As I mentioned in responses to the previous questions, it is about the perception of independence, but also the need to not turn to organizations that we audit in order to request funding. I think there should be objectivity in establishing funding levels, and that's where I see Parliament—this committee, perhaps, or another committee—playing a real and active role in that.
