I can start off, Mr. Chair, speaking to the experience in CIC.
We've been working on ramping up our evaluation capacity and function for several years. I noted in my opening remarks that in the management accountability framework we received an unacceptable rating in 2006. So that was well before the AG's work started on this. We knew we had some pretty significant challenges where we needed to improve.
We also had discussions within the department about the challenges we faced. So the Treasury Board assessment wasn't news to us. We've been working on those issues ever since. That's why I say we now have a five-year evaluation plan in place that will provide the 100% coverage that's expected in the policy.
So I think there is a fair history to this.
