Essentially, this is the document that outlines the operating budget, which has to be approved by Treasury Board.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9330811\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In addition, all Crown corporations are subject to annual audits of their financial statements as well as special reviews that take place at least every 10 years, under the Financial Administration Act.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9330812\" data-originallang=\"fr\">There are also other accountability processes, such as being accountable to Canadians and Parliament through the minister and appearing at meetings like this one.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9330813\" data-originallang=\"fr\">So, there is a very clear mandate\u2014</p>",
