It is expected that this workshop will offer you the opportunity to thoroughly evaluate and review the status quo and identify the necessary measures in relation to the way forward. I believe that the next few days will go a long way to strengthen the capacity of our supervisors and facilitate the application of the Risk-Based Supervisory approach.
The task ahead is challenging but I believe that with a common resolve it is not insurmountable. Ladies and Gentlemen, let me once again take this opportunity to thank OSFI and the Canadian International Development Association (CIDA) for supporting this workshop.
