We were very encouraged by the Auditor General's findings with respect to the Infoway in her 2009 report. The Auditor General recognized that Infoway has accomplished much since its creation, and that it has implemented the appropriate management controls for operational spending.
The Auditor General also offered constructive advice in certain areas where Infoway could refine its management and reporting practices. She provided the recommendations for enhancements to reporting on progress, the contracting of goods and services, and verifying conformance to the electronic health records system with Infoway standards. This government is pleased to note that Infoway has developed a detailed action plan to strengthen accountability in response to the Auditor General's report, and has already begun addressing each of the recommendations made by the Auditor General.
Thank you.
