Public Accounts committee  Mr. Chairman, we're having a little trouble with the translation. It didn't come through, I'm afraid, for our colleagues.

Public Accounts committee  I apologize as well, Ms. Beaudin. We did have a little technical difficulty, so perhaps we can talk a bit later. Very simply, Mr. Chairman, we're past 11 o'clock by quite a little bit. Thank you very much, Mrs. Fraser and committee members. Really, accountability comes to life here in this country of ours, colleagues, and I think it's done very, very well.

Public Accounts committee  There is quite an extensive process, and we're going to make it a stronger process to select countries and candidates. We go out, working with the Auditor General and others, and interview not only candidates from countries but also the office in those countries to ensure the office wants to change, that it's at a point in its development where change is possible, and that the candidates who are being looked at are people who can come and bring about that change once they go home.

Public Accounts committee  Not at this time, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.

Public Accounts committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Distinguished members of the PAC, Ms. Fraser, I'm very grateful to all of you for inviting our visitors from abroad to see first-hand how the federal PAC interacts with the Auditor General to help close the accountability loop in our country.
