Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, again, to our guests.
I'm not sure who I address this question to. Maybe I'll pose it and decide. I think it might be for my friend at Justice.
At DFAIT, or for that matter at any other department, what are the provisions, if you will, for quality control, essentially, to ensure that Canadians get the information they're entitled to by law?
We have the Information Commissioner, but in terms of the department—I guess I'm going back to this business of a report card here—is there an independent audit at the year's end? Is there a review by some other decision-maker? Sometimes, in order to shed some light on problems or concerns, you might need that--getting a second opinion, if you will, which we all do when we're not sure of something or we want better service.
Is there an independent year-end audit ? Is there a review by some other decision-maker, and then getting a second opinion, where there are difficulties or controversial documents? We've heard references sometimes to other agencies.
I don't know if that's my friend at Treasury Board or Justice.
