Thank you for the question.
Paragraph 5.74 states that:
We found that the Department had an up-to-date agreement with only one province [...]
In other words, only one province had an agreement at that time.
On the other hand, in the department's action plan—I have it only in English in front of me—in response to our recommendation in paragraph 5.76, they say that they agree with the recommendation, which was about putting the agreements in place, and they say:
Agreements with provincial and territorial partners are pivotal to the overall administration of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program and the protection of vulnerable temporary foreign workers. ...the Department will continue to engage these partners in information-sharing discussions with the intent to finalize information-sharing agreements as soon as possible.
Their expected completion date for that is December 2017. I guess what they actually say is that they're going to have ongoing engagement with provinces and territories, and besides that they call it an expected completion date of December 2017. Those two things are a little hard to put together, but nevertheless the important part of this is that the department agrees they need to have these agreements, and they agree it is pivotal to have them. Now the reason they were not in place was not something that we looked at. We just simply noted that they only had one in place at the time we had done the audit.
