Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will just make a couple of comments to set the scene, I guess. One, right now, with the Financial Administration Act, we really have no choice. If we find an error and there is a need to collect from an employee, current employee or retired employee, we have to go and collect and part of the problems with some of the recent events has been with some functions that went wrong with PeopleSoft in the past. Also in doing the T4s, some of the problems come to light, and so we’re looking at the issue and we are trying to find ways.

Obviously we feel we can do a lot better when we contact the individuals that have arrears. We can do a better job of explaining and also we are looking at what our requirements are. We think we should be able, in certain cases, where we’ve gone through the audit and everybody signed off on it, that where the mistake is not the fault of the employee, that we want to find ways of maybe writing it off. This is something we will have to work out with the Minister of Finance, but we are looking at that and we agree with the Member that we need to do a better job of dealing with this. Also, we will be making changes to PeopleSoft effective April 1st that will put in some checks, balances and

safeguards so that we should be able to catch most of these kinds of issues. Thank you.
