Mr. Chair, the chapter contains a certain number of recommendations. We have had discussions with CIDA on the appropriateness of these recommendations. CIDA has provided us with a response. As the president mentioned earlier, CIDA agrees with all of our recommendations.
There is not necessarily any formal requirement that we be provided with an action plan. However, I think that this is good management practice. Moreover, we are really encouraging parliamentary committees to request action plans and ensure that there is follow-up. We have in fact obtained a copy of the action plan and we have taken a look at it. We will now have to determine whether or not we will do a follow-up report and when this will be done.
Usually, this depends on the amount of time required to implement the action plan. We may review CIDA in two or three years. This is a decision that we will have to make. We may do a follow-up audit to ensure that the noted shortcomings have been remedied.
