Mr. Robert Watt:
I thank the Chairman and the members of the committee for affording me the opportunity to make a statement. As the Comptroller and Auditor General has outlined, the agenda covers a number of chapters from various reports for 2016 and 2017; the appropriation accounts 2016 and 2017 for Votes 11 and 12; and special reports Nos. 95, 99 and 100. In the interests of time I will take the opening part of my statement as read because it basically says how brilliant the Department is and I know the committee shares that view anyway.
