Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thanks for that, Mr. Minister. The deficiency I see in this is we have the Audit Bureau, but we are actually checking ourselves. We have a function of this government that is mandated to investigate or audit our own operations and to me there is something not quite right with that and something about that doesn't sit well with me. The farther away from government that we can get the operation of a body like the Audit Bureau, the better. A lot of times, folks who have worked in the Audit Bureau worked in other departments; they are familiar with other people in the department. I would feel more comfort in knowing it was more at arm's length from government than it currently is today. Those are some comments, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
