You have a good memory.
Yes, the reports will be provided to the different political parties over a certain period of time. We said that there would be set timelines to obtain the information. The reports will be given to the political parties in the order in which we receive the information. That does not mean that we will make those reports public. The political party that receives our report can keep it, and not release it publicly. As long as the political party does not release it publicly, we cannot do anything. We will be discreet and we will keep our report confidential.
As for co-operation, I am convinced that the departments will want to take part in the process. As I said, we are negotiating with certain departments such as the Department of Finance, so that we can develop a process to protect everyone, both the reputation of PBO and the department. These departments will have to co-operate in the process since this is set out in the legislation. It mentions that the minister must provide authorization to his deputy minister to co-operate in the process or not. If ministers systematically refuse, deputy ministers will not co-operate. So, it will be difficult to respect the legislation.
