Ms. Boucher, you have brought in a good point. We have had not the Minister of Finance but the Deputy Minister of Finance coming in to give us supplementary estimates updates and to tell us how they do budgeting--for instance, gender-based budgeting. The minister does not come down to the nitty-gritty operational level. That is why we need, from an operational perspective, the person. Civil servants have come before the committee. We have Statistics Canada coming. We have civil servants from HRSDC. We have civil servants coming because they are accountable to this committee.
On public accounts, we wanted the deputy minister to account for what they were doing. The ministers are accountable. They are always accountable in the House. But we need to see here, from the deputy minister, what they have been doing, or hear from their staff on what they have been doing.
Ms. Minna.
