Back to you, Mr. Wouters.
The last concern I want to raise at this point is the departmental performance reports. Again, this has been a concern in this committee. For any department or agency that comes before the committee, I certainly take the opportunity to read the departmental reports on plans and priorities and the departmental performance report for the previous year. This issue has been raised before by the Auditor General in her audit in 2004. They're not that helpful in a lot of cases. There are a lot of self-congratulatory statements, a lot of fluff, but it really doesn't get to the goals and objectives of the department in what they're trying to accomplish, or the tremendous risks that certain departments are facing, and how they meet the challenges and risks. We've seen horrendous situations. For example, Public Works had a horrendous situation going on four or five years ago about events that bordered on criminal. It was a large department within Public Works with an internal audit on subcontracting. I asked why they didn't mention it in the departmental performance reports, and they just shrugged their shoulders.
Again, I know you're working on it, but perhaps you can update the committee as to where you see this process going.
