Thank you, Madam Chair. So our November 12th briefing, I was the one who asked the question and we got an answer on November the 22nd that was addressed to my colleague here, the chair of the Standing Committee on Accountability and Oversight. And I had asked the question to do it by community, and you've done that on attachment 3.
And it shows the number of assets and the amounts by community. And usually what happens in the public accounts is that a standard formula is usually used by an accountant to -- overall, and in order to balance the public accounts for -- to meet these public account standards.
I mean it's -- it's a very simple -- we're going to so much here comparing apples to oranges when you're going into environmental sites and stuff like that when it's -- this is not -- has nothing to do with it.
I don't know why -- if you just read this document, it's very clear to me exactly what it is. And making sure that we don't account to the public that we're doing -- this is the way it has to be done, legally. And we're not talking about environmental sites and we're not talking about all these other things that are under federal jurisdiction. And in order to balance the public accounts, this is one of the standards they're asking for now and that's what we're doing. And it's very clear to me now, because I was the one who asked that question on November the 12th, and I was satisfied with the answer. That's why I wasn't going to ask -- I'm not asking any questions on it. Thank you, Madam Chair.
