Every department has an obligation to set up a process or implement a code of values or ethics for the entire government. We noted that the five departments that we audited had all met the requirements, namely they were providing courses or had appointed a senior official who would be available to employees in order to discuss such cases. PWGSC has done this—I do not know when, probably in 2003—in adopting the values and ethics code.
