Hon. Scott Tannas: My question is for the chair of the Standing Senate Committee on Audit and Oversight, or AOVS.

Under the committee’s mandate, it is responsible for the selection of a chief audit executive. The individual will lead and supervise the Senate’s internal audit function, ensure audits are being conducted appropriately and review the adequacy of risk management control in the governance processes.

Senator Klyne, can you please provide an update to the Senate on the process and progress for hiring a chief audit executive?
