This act was amended and implemented further to the adoption of Bill C-2, the Accountability Act. This legislation broadened the scope of the policy which used to be in force. The integrity officer became the integrity commissioner. So this is a new system.
Although the former act had been adopted, it had never come into effect as such. We now have a new system, a new commissioner and a broader application. Nevertheless, this new act does not apply to three entities: the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, the Communications Security Establishment and the Canadian Forces.
