Thank you, Ms. Normandin.
Minister Blair has partially responded to our report and to the opposition motion in the House of Commons. He produced a document of some 20 pages, which has been distributed to all members of the House. It shows what the government is doing, what it is trying to do and what it will be doing. The important question is: how will the government respond to our recommendations? The NSICOP believes that there is a lot of work to be done and that progress can be made.
We have already completed seven reviews and three annual reports, and have made 22 recommendations. We spend a lot of time on these reports and recommendations. Because the recommendations are unanimous and non-partisan and based on the bicameral principle, we believe they are easier to follow.
We expect the government to make a greater effort to respond to our recommendations.
