As I indicated, it is not a response, because the bill had been drafted way before the tabling of my report. One cannot answer a question that is yet to be put. However, this Act deals with several of the problems that I underscored in my report and my recommendations, and it is, thus far, an excellent piece of legislation. The fact that it has been called the Federal Accountability Act does not mean that is it necessarily the best way to achieve the accountability that everyone would like to see. As I stated, the fundamental problem remains intact.
