Thank you for the question.
Some recent improvements that we've made as a result of the Information Commissioner's systemic investigation of National Defence have really focused on our practices. We are governed by the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act, but we are following policy direction with Treasury Board Secretariat.
We've put some specific initiatives in place. We've established letters of agreement, which are signed between each senior official and the deputy minister of defence, committing to uphold their obligations under both of those acts. We've updated our reference tools to support the tasking liaison officers. Those are the ones who are out searching for the documents. We've incorporated access to information objectives into performance agreements for those who have primary or secondary access to information or privacy responsibilities. We've established processes to enhance the rigour around the retrieval process. We've improved our ability to receive electronic records to speed up the process, so that we're not dealing with the mail. We've emphasized the duty to assist principles across the government and undertook a comprehensive review of our ATIP training curriculum. We've also updated the departmental policies.
