I hope that it will be different this time. That is a good question to ask the department.
I think this is.... Forgive me, Mr. Chair, I probably shouldn't be giving advice to this committee, but I think this points to the important role that this committee can play in the accountability process. In recent years when the public accounts committee had hearings with departments, it asked for action plans with details on who was going to do it and when it was going to be done. That wasn't in place in 2004 when we last reported on this issue.
So I believe there's an important role for the committee to play here in asking the department for action plans. The committee could satisfy itself as to the sufficiency of those action plans and the committee could also use those action plans as the basis for subsequent follow-up.
Forgive me, Mr. Chair, but I think the committee can help us here.
