Thank you for that.

I want to ask a question that might be a bit technical in nature. PCO is there to offer advice to cabinet. According to the departmental plan, one of the two indicators used for this result is the “[p]ercentage of Cabinet documents distributed to Ministers that meet the Privy Council Office's guidance on drafting Cabinet documents”.

How was that guidance arrived at, and why only 50%? Is that an interim goal, or would 100% be better? Can you elaborate on the process that went into that?
