In an increasingly dangerous world, I think it's a good thing that we're doing this. It was very controversial when it began. I was just surprised that the auditor's report didn't touch on that, because it seems to be an important thing, especially given the allocation of responsibility between Parliament and our bureaucrats.
The other thing I am going to point out is that in many of your plans I don't see timelines there. I noted, for instance, on page 4 of your report, Mr. Rigby, that it says, “The Auditor General noted that no national procedures exist to address excess capacity at detention centres.” We talked about that a little bit. There is a timeline target date for implementation of June 2009.
Flipping over to the next page, it states that the CBSA is also negotiating agreements with the provinces, and you mention Ontario and Quebec. We touched on that a little bit in answer to another question. It just seems to me that it would be easier to understand what was happening and for a future committee to follow up if there had been timelines.
I know you put your neck out when you do that. In several cases, I would have liked to have seen some sort of a target date for what you're doing. I also realize that because you only have six months under your belt, that perhaps may have been a bridge too far.
