Mr. Chairman, the area of the Audit Bureau: it has been challenging to try and have that fully staffed. In fact, the Audit Bureau has looked at a number of options of trying to hire: going through, I guess one would say, a recruitment process of taking those who are going through, for example, the universities, who may be in this field, offering them a work opportunity through the summer and then looking at bringing them online. So we’ve had junior auditors filling in some of the positions. We’ve moved internally in that area to try to fill the void that’s there.
We also have had the Audit Bureau come up with a human resource plan, as well, to look at how they can fulfill the mandate and still deliver on the service. So we use the funding in that area to look at the university students coming up or those who are in that field at a junior level to bring them in to fill the spots, and from time to time we do contract
different reports that we can. Depending on the level of the audit that we need, we do find that contracting can be more expensive than having our own staff.
