I wish to draw this section of the meeting to a close. The committee thanks Ms Drinan, Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Barron for their attendance. It has been a useful engagement. The committee wished to explore the operation of the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General. We are very familiar with the office because we deal with it frequently and understand a significant amount of its operations. However, it was no harm for the committee to spend an hour asking the witnesses the routine questions which we would ask in regard to any other voted expenditure. We thank them for their attendance and assistance.

Voting is starting quite late, at 1.45 p.m. Will we resume at 2.45 p.m.? We have one session in the afternoon but cannot have it now as the witness has signed up for after 2 p.m. We can resume as quickly as possible after the votes.
