This comes up not necessarily just in respect of this case but also where something is found to be way outside of, say, a scheme or the rules and does not fall within the criminal code.

Is that where the accountability is, or does the Comptroller and Auditor General follow up with the Department and ask how this worked out and whether it made a difference? Whose responsibility is that?
