It was already a commitment made a couple of years ago. I have it in my report that the last update on what was happening on this file was in 2003. As to the commitment, my colleague can probably say exactly what it was. But it was clear that the government should have come before parliamentarians and Canadians on a regular basis, and I thought it was every two years, to report on progress made, how much money was spent, and so on. We were told in the course of this audit that at best, Canadians will have an update by 2008. This is certainly quite a long period to wait to know what is going on, and, if there is a need for adjustment, to adjust.
If I may add one thing, I will say it is also the committee's prerogative to ask for a regular update on what is going on. I know in the past my colleague and I have been able to work with other committees, on pesticides, for example, and make sure that twice a year the agency was testifying before the committee and giving an update on certain things they were supposed to do. Something similar could take place here.
