Pursuant to the legislation, we have policies and regulations. Audits are meant to determine whether every staffing action is compliant with the process provided by the policy and whether it is compliant with values and regulations. We also check that there is a framework for the staffing process and whether the framework is respected, in other words, whether they are complying with their own planning, their own policies, and we look at their relations with the people in charge of training, people who are aware of their responsibilities.
Regarding the Correctional Investigator, we concluded that they made some progress since the Auditor General's audit, by setting up a framework and a better policy. However, there are still some problems with staffing. This case really provides an example of the problems which arise when people are hired although they have no experience in the kind of work concerned, and when these people are given the opportunity to get training by assigning them to temporary positions and by following through with a permanent staffing process that requires experience in the field.
We have a problem with that. It is contrary to principles of accessibility and fairness for all those who apply for such positions and who expect that their application will be considered.
