He posed the question of whether we agree with the Auditor General and do we implement the recommendations of the Auditor General. Absolutely, almost all the time and sometimes the Auditor General may make some recommendations that pose certain challenges.
Sometimes she may, or he as the case may be through the years, make some recommendations on which government has a different view; however, it tries to achieve the goals that the Auditor General puts forward in a different manner.
I have been to many committees where she has made presentations and I have heard very little about the refusal by the Government of Canada to implement recommendations of the Auditor General. I have heard her express malcontent about the pace of change on occasions, as it is with Parliament.
In this case, what I have suggested, and I use Infoway as an example, is that there are times when it is not as simple as one would immediately think. Infoway has 13 equal partners. It is difficult for one partner to impose its auditor as an independent external auditor to the 12 other partners.
