Auditor General of Canada, Office of the Auditor General

Karen Hogan

No, it's okay.

I have to publish this report every fall.

As for the cost of annual audits of Crown corporations' financial statements, the amounts set out in the budgets enable me to complete those audits and the financial audits of the three territories. I'm working very hard with all the staff in my office to improve our processes and make better use of technology, at the government's request, to provide you with more information for better accountability.

Sébastien Lemire Bloc Abitibi—Témiscamingue, QC

Thank you very much, Ms. Hogan.
