The selection process for this position is not the traditional process whereby a position is advertised with a profile, but I can tell you what I know are the responsibilities and the roles of the position. There is certainly the responsibility of meeting the government's objective in the delivery of the grants and contributions programs. It's delivering on the results of the programs but also ensuring that all the accountability measures and all the requirements under the Financial Administration Act are respected in the delivery of that program. There is also the responsibility of ensuring you are the accounting officer for the full budgetary allocation of Status of Women Canada, so the full amount of $30 million approximately. For the agency, I have to ensure I have the proper financial systems in place to be able to respond to the use of those funds and the properties.
