I'll tell you what the consequences are.
Managers have accountabilities up the line. That's the way the system works. They're expected to do certain things. Certainly we take our security responsibilities very seriously. We have a section in the department that is responsible for ensuring that security clearances, both locally and for Canada-based staff, are kept up to date and so on. They will be pursuing this with the managers locally to ensure that these things are kept up to date.
If this is not being done, there will be consequences for the manager in question. Issues around performance will be recorded for future promotion; in the case of EX, it could involve issues of performance and bonus pay, or not, at the end of the year.
These are the ways the public service normally ensures that accountability is carried out. So those are the kinds of consequences that would be brought to bear in this case.
