Our accountability is for the services delivered by those agencies to the extent that we fund them.
I'm not trying to avoid the question, but if you actually run the agency, you have two accountabilities. You have to report to INAC for the money that we provide them, and you have to report to the provincial director of child welfare, because you're using the provincial minister's authorities. Those authorities are given to the agencies, and sometimes they're taken away by the province because it doesn't feel they're using them properly. So if you run an agency, you're accountable to the province and you're accountable to us for the results.
You're aware of the issue of reporting burden, so we're trying to make sure that what we get is real information to help you, as parliamentarians, figure out whether those federal dollars are being used well. We agreed that we haven't done enough. The new agreements require much more detailed business plans and much more thorough reporting of what actually happens to the kids, and we will get there as we do these tripartite arrangements.
