I understand, thank you.
My second question is this: you stated in this fall's Report 2 that it is “difficult for parliamentarians and Canadians to gain a clear sense of overall progress against the goal.” I agree with your comment and I have reached the same conclusion. The agencies have failed to mention key aspects of what they intended to accomplish as a performance target.
The current government has been in place for five years and we have no way to assess what it has done, or to know where it is going. It's like they have good intentions, but they don't have any measures or a specific plan to achieve their goals.
What advice would you give us so that, as parliamentarians, we can request performance assessment tools?
