I welcome Mr. McKeon and his team. On pages two and three of his opening statement, Mr. McKeon mentioned fraud and error several times. I know some of this was dealt with earlier. Unfortunately, I had a media interview so I missed some of that. Apologies if I repeat any of the questions. Mr. McKeon is ultimately responsible as the Accounting Officer, but which of his colleagues has specific responsibility for oversight of fraud and error?
