The responsibility of the Treasury Board Secretariat, in many different policy areas, is to fundamentally establish the management policies of the Government of Canada. What we've been doing over the course of the last two years is going through what we call policy suite renewal. The reason for that, I think, is that fundamentally when you look at the range of management policies that existed, there were some 180 management policies in the Government of Canada prior to policy suite renewal. We're actually refining that down to about 44 policies. So one of the jobs is to try to undo this web of rules and clarify what people are responsible for. That's a big part of our role, to try to clarify things much more substantially for departments.
Part of the policy suite renewal is also structuring things so that when you look at the policy you get an instant indication of whether there is something that you need to do for contracting. It's not buried somewhere. It's very clear and consistent that there's something I need to do for physical security.
So I would say that the policy material that was there was probably difficult to work with overall. We're implementing many elements that will add to the controls. One of those is to monitor—that's probably not exactly the right word—or work with departments through the management accountability framework to do regular assessments on an annual basis to determine if the policies are being followed. We can carry that to very deep levels of assurance if we choose to do so.
