Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for being with us today.
Thank you, Mr. Morgan, for those generous words at the beginning.
I want to ask you about lack of discipline by government forces. I understand that this is a complex issue and that there are a number of different players involved here. One of the common themes seems to be government forces' excessive violence. Can you talk a bit about that? Is it a lack of discipline? Is it a deliberate escalation by leadership that's causing this to happen?
I note that the U.S., Germany, France, China and Israel all supply arms to the military. Is it possible that between them they could bring some restraint through the pressures of cutting those military supplies? I know that the U.S. has already cut back a bit. Could you talk about that a bit? Is this a lack of discipline of the government forces? Is it a deliberate escalation of violence that's being done for some people's purposes?

Do they have francophone and anglophone units in the military or are they combined? Is that an issue, as well, in terms of the conflict?

Okay.
Just moving quickly along, I noticed in some of our material that some of the anglophone schools have been shut down for the past two years. This is common in conflict areas. The first thing that seems to go is children's access to education. I'm wondering if you could talk a bit about the situation that typically leads to a lost generation of young people and then further conflict. I hope you don't mind addressing that.
I had one more question for Mr. Morgan. You wanted to talk about suppressing information outside of Cameroon. Could you get ready to address the issue of how the government has been suppressing the information outside of Cameroon? I may have enough time for that.
Please talk first about the schools, if you would.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, dear friends. Thank you for your very interesting and informative opening remarks.
Mr. Ricard, I will repeat what I told you when we studied your report on national parks. We have an expression in French meaning that you cannot be trusted. We are here to talk about serious matters: the budget of an important government organization—yours.
Although the Office of the Auditor General of Canada has one of the most important functions in our democratic country, our function is just as important. We have a responsibility to our fellow Canadians.
That said, in your presentation you mentioned that, since 2011, the government has asked you to reduce your activities because it cut your budget. Did I understand correctly?

Mr. Ricard, I have only seven minutes, and I would like you to answer me with a yes or no. Am I right in saying that, in 2011, the Office of the Auditor General was asked to reduce its budget and, thereby, its activities? You were not in office at that time; it was Mr. Ferguson.

That is what worries me. You reduced the workload. Obviously, some studies had to be eliminated.

The government of the day suggested that you stop conducting audits, so that you could stay within your new budget.

Great. It was on a voluntary basis.
You said that the Office of the Auditor General had to cut its budget by $6.7 million, from 2011 to 2015. Did I understand correctly? Was that annually?

Okay.
I am not jumping around here, as I see the issue of your department's lack of financial resources as a whole. Were the issues of outdated computers mentioned in your presentation predictable when those annual cuts of $6.7 million starting in 2011 were accepted? Was it predicted that things would get there?

As far as I understand, in 2011, when the Office of the Auditor General agreed, voluntarily, to reduce its costs, its financial resources and its audits—or to sacrifice some of them—it had not been predicted that four, five, six or seven years later, the computer system, among other things, would need a facelift.
