I think you indicated you've read some of the transcripts. I'm going to read to you something Ms. Sabourin said, and this was an answer in response to a question I had asked on the regulations. Essentially, she's raising the issue as to whether they should be updated. She says:
Absolutely. We have the act. We have its regulations. We have Treasury Board Secretariat guidelines that are quite expensive.
I don't know whether she meant expansive or not, but it says “expensive”. Mind you, maybe they are expensive. That's what it says.
Mind you, we'd like them to be updated to reflect court precedents so that it's updated with the current court decisions. We are guided by this guideline, which is about four inches thick. It helps us to confirm the application of exemptions.
Can you comment--Treasury Board, in particular--on this issue as to whether or not these guidelines should be updated?
