The action plan I referred to was an action plan that the department prepared and tabled with the public accounts committee, so it is a public action plan.
The thing that may be of interest to this committee is that a couple of the dates in their action plan have already gone by, so they should have already put some of those things in place. For example, they said they agreed with the recommendation that we made in paragraph 5.41 of our report, which was that they “should review current policies, guidance, and processes to identify opportunities to strengthen the assessment of employers’ recruitment efforts” and that they “should ensure that Temporary Foreign Worker Program officers can more fully verify the accuracy of employers’ statements and that employers use the program only as a last resort.”
They put together their response, and they said their expected completion date for that was August 2017.
Again, I can't tell you whether they have or haven't done that. I can tell you that they have an action plan and they have specific dates outlined in there. Some of those dates have already gone by or soon will be coming up, so I think there is information in there for you to find out from the department at some point exactly what they have done in living up to that action plan.
