Thank you.
I'll now go back to my initial comment on what I honestly consider to be a good news status report. We all have access to the report on advertising and opinion research back in 2003. And I'm not knocking the previous government; that was just the reality at that particular time.
We see that Public Works did not provide equitable access to all the suppliers. In some cases, there was no evidence that a selection process had even been carried out at all. Departments did not even follow or meet the requirements of the Financial Administration Act. In many departments, they didn't even indicate the need for undertaking particular research. They just went and did it. In other words, there was no justification or verification whatsoever.
In particular, it was noted the government paid for research that monitored, among other things, voting behaviour and political party image. They were items absolutely contrary to the guidelines that had been in place at that particular time.
This was really disturbing, but I'm encouraged that a lesson was taken and a lesson was heard. What I'm looking for from you at this particular time is this. When you fix a problem, do you reinvent the wheel or do you fix the wheel? In one statement in particular, you said than rather than simply creating new rules, the government in question, the government now, and of course the public service, focused on the rules and took action on those rules.
Can you give us some examples of that?
