Public Accounts committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. First, I'm pleased that the findings of the audit recognize a lot of the work that was done by the Treasury Board Secretariat to ensure we gave departments a lot of support and guidance in the context of integrated risk management. That's my area of specialization.

Public Accounts committee  In the context of integrated risk management, we're looking at all the risks faced by a department. To the extent that you have a professional chief financial officer who works towards what the financial risk management would be that would feed up into the larger integrated risk management process, there's no question that professionalization of the service is an improvement.
