I believe there is or will be a committee of associate deputy ministers who would see to the coordination. In addition, to avoid a situation where each department is re-inventing the wheel, it would be a good idea to consult with National Research Council Canada, for instance, as it has a number of policies and so forth. I am certain that during the audit, the council indicated that it was happy to share its experience and available materials, rather than having each department re-create policies and such. Obviously, they would need to be adapted to the context of each department, but the more information that is shared, the better off everyone will be.
