Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to our witnesses this morning.
Your report card grades for certain departments earned media exposure for those grades this last week—certainly the red alerts--but I want to turn our focus onto another one a little more closely. I'm looking at the RCMP. You gave them a C this year. They received an F in 2005, under the previous Liberal government.
In fact, in your opening remarks you said, “Since last year's assessment, we have also witnessed some very impressive results at the Canada Border Services Agency, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police...”. It goes on. You went on to say, “These institutions have adopted a strategic approach to their access to information...”.
Can you talk about those approaches? Can you talk about why we see such changes and what factors helped to improve their grade?
