My understanding is that the report cards are done by the Treasury Board Secretariat. Our office uses them when we meet with the institutions, because we are interested in how they meet their obligations under the act. My focus in the next year, and my mandate, is going to be towards collaboration, open government, openness, and transparency.
I really want institutions to understand the purpose of the Access to Information Act, and the rights of Canadians. Hopefully, we'll be able to get them to collaborate and understand better, but for sure we'll use those report cards in our meetings with the ministers, and with the ADMs and DMs, to make sure they understand what's going on in their institutions. Maybe it's a question of funding for them too.
