Most definitely. In fact the whole purpose of this report is to follow up on previous audits to see what has been done with regard to recommendations that had been made in the past. We note that there is improvement in some areas, less improvement in others. What we are encouraging departments to do, and other committees of the House are also asking for, is a specific action plan to address the areas of improvement with clear responsibilities, clear timelines. We are encouraging committees as well at times to ask for updates on the action plan to make sure that the department remains focused on this. We use that action plan to determine when we will go back and re-audit an issue. If the department says they will complete the work within two years, we might go back in the third or fourth year to give them the chance to address it. Then we go in to see if it has actually been done.
