Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the benefit of moving it out and privatizing would have to be measured against what benefits we receive right now. Right now, the positions within the Audit Bureau help us to manage internally to provide the services of internal audits of fraud and it's a tool that we use to help us ensure from this side of the table, the Financial Management Board Secretariat, that all departments receiving funds from the government are using those funds as they were voted or as they were given in agreements or contracts. Right now, the benefit of it internally is as a management tool and it provides us that service of where we need to look at things or do an audit or investigate potential fraud. We would have to review the potential of having this type of service done externally and see if there is a cost-savings. That idea can be questioned as to the amount of savings that might be there or might not be. Thank you.
