To Mr. Rigby, if you wouldn't mind, I'm interested in the actions following the May 2008 audit, which isn't that long ago, I guess. I know that Minister Day and Minister Van Loan have taken some steps on this.
I read in your presentation that on the temporary resident permit, the CBSA and Citizenship and Immigration Canada are working together. There's approval in terms of a monitoring framework, which is now coming out in early March 2009. That's the direction that has been taken.
The Auditor General noticed that “no national procedures exist to address capacity”. We talked a little bit about that. You talk here about target dates of implementation for a procedure, again for June of this year.
I'm looking at number three, which is a reporting requirement. This again has to do with detention capacity, where it has been exceeded. It appears to me that you're developing a quality assurance program for implementation in September of 2009, which is just six months or so up the road.
In number four, your agency has negotiated, and there was discussion by my colleague Mr. Christopherson about the length of time taken to reach the agreements. It would appear that those are going to be concluded in 2009, and then with the remaining provinces, hopefully—and I think Ms. Johnston referred to this—by 2011. In the past, although there have been fewer numbers, these don't always make it easier to negotiate, because each province has its own issues to deal with, I would suspect.
In number five, the agency has launched a process to monitor the framework and identify key removals and detention activities. I think this is a key one, to be monitored for consistent application. That reporting began just at the end of 2008. Then you are conducting a pilot for 2009 to track individual removal cases. Is that the one that will try to get a handle on the exit of those who leave? You targeted Toronto as a pilot project area.
Now for my two questions. Are these a result of the concerns that have obviously come about from the AG, and on which you're now moving ahead? And second, has Toronto been picked for a particular reason?
Then I have a question about page 10 and the pre-approval programs to speed up the entry of low-risk people. I think these are good, but is there an increased risk of people slipping through the cracks when you have a preregistration or a pre-approval program? Does it raise that risk?
I'll leave it at that, Mr. Chair.
