The members of the committee will remember that there were a few cases in the course of our audits where we noted that conflicts of interest were not well managed by the departments either with regard to the wording of contracts or within certain programs. Pursuant to that we stated that existing policies needed to be reviewed in order to determine whether policies and guidelines within the departments were sufficiently clear for employees to be able to recognize such situations and know how to manage them. So that is in short the objective there.
With regard to charities the Canada Revenue Agency has a very important role to play in registering charity organizations in Canada to have them recognized as such. We audit the procedure involved, how the CRA people do the monitoring, how they process those cases that are submitted to them.
As to the economic action plan, this involves its monitoring framework that is in existence. It's a little early to see the program results because we are about at the halfway point of the achievement of the plan. That said, we can review, for instance, program definitions, monitoring processes, if internal audits are involved. So it's really a matter of studying the control framework of the economic action plan.
