Mr. Chairman, Mr. Warawa, this is a very good question. We just don't think that this process is really very well known. I suspect that one of the reasons it isn't, perhaps, is that we maybe haven't done our job as well as we might have. I think our website isn't the easiest to use, and we're looking at how to change that. We're looking at trying to talk a little bit more about the petitions process when we are out giving speeches and writing articles, to make the Canadian people aware that it exists.
So I think in terms of raising awareness of the process, we can do a lot. What we're doing right now is developing a plan in order to do just that. We want to wait for a little while, because I have a funny feeling that the green ribbon panel is going to look at that too, and they may make recommendations, I don't know. So we want to think about what they might be saying and then put forward a plan to make the petitions process better known to the Canadian people.
Now, in addition to making it better known, I think we can do a better job of giving more precise and useful guidance both to petitioners and to departments that are trying to craft petition responses on behalf of ministers. We have some guidance. We think it should be stronger and sharper, and we're working at doing that too. I would think in probably two or two and a half months we'll be in a position to have a better approach to the administration of petitions ourselves, which hopefully should go a long way to making the Canadian people more aware of it and making the process work a little bit more smoothly.
