Thank you.
We have been working very hard on RPPs and DPRs for some time and taking advice from this committee and the Auditor General. We do issue guidance to departments such as this and a good practice handbook as well. We do stress the need for departments to be fairly balanced and forthright in their assessments. We've tried to outline very clear performance measures. We've tried to make sure these reports are not fluff but are based on plans and assessing actual results against the plans. We were able to do that better perhaps on the program side than with the objectives and programs dealing with some of the other issues and problems you might have mentioned.
