Hi,     The Office of the Auditor General is pleased that the Globe and Mail has provided a link to our website, giving the Canadian public access to our audit report from Bill Curry's article Auditor-General sounds alarm on immigration policy. We prefer a weblink to our website, rather than a link to a third party website over which the OAG has no control.      The OAG website (http://www.oag-bvg.gc.ca  ) offers PDF and/or HTML versions of Reports dating back to 1981. Many media organizations provide links to our reports, and we appreciate and encourage this practice. Upon request, we can provide media organizations with advice about the most efficient way to facilitate access to our reports, for example, by reducing the number of clicks.      Since access is directly to our website, we do not require anyone to request permission to post a link to a report.      Ghislain Desjardins Manager, Media Relations | Gestionnaire des relations avec les médias Communications | Communications Office of the Auditor General of Canada | Bureau du vérificateur général du Canada C.D.
