Thank you.
Welcome to the Auditor General and members of your office.
I want to congratulate you all on a very favourable performance report, 152 audits—it's considerable—75% to 90% of them on time and about half of them on budget. I know there's an opportunity for improvement there, but my warmest congratulations in particular are for being voted the top 100 employer and the top 10 family friendly employer. Obviously there's a high degree of satisfaction working for the Office of the Auditor General, and also for being one of the capital region's top 20 employers.
I noted that you had an 86% retention rate, which was below your target, but I wondered why you thought that was not meeting expectations. That sounds like a pretty significant number, 86%. Why was that below your standard?
