Mr. Chairman, when we get called to an audit that where there is the possibility of wrong-doing or miscalculation or there has been money misplaced, then we have to drop other things and rush off to that. It may be in conjunction with the RCMP or other areas of the government. That takes up considerable time. What we lose, then, is the ability to grind away at just that regular auditing, where we are doing ten per cent sampling on this particular file and 20 per cent sampling on another file, which are turning up those errors that staff are making inadvertently and perhaps getting away from the policies. I suppose that we could do more if we had more resources. But, at the present time, we are doing the best we can with what we have been allocated, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
