The new Federal Accountability Act indicates, if my understanding is correct, that the government may appoint a commission, and to my knowledge, that has not taken place. Appointments have continued, because the prerogative of the Governor in Council remains in place.
I am told--this is anecdotal, however--that given the discussions we had as a secretariat with many of the heads of agencies, crown corporations, and commissions, that within some of those organizations they have proceeded to review the procedures they have in place and to move in the general direction we would have hoped.
