Mr. Chair, I would like to reiterate that I regret very much that the committee did not find our responses to members' questions to be sufficiently detailed. The questions by the committee really related to how we developed and are monitoring our improved processes and frameworks for the detection and prevention of fraud in the citizenship program. I'd be happy to provide more information on how they were developed and are being monitored today.
With respect to the reports mentioned in our response to the committee, they were intended to illustrate the mechanisms by which the department is following up on the Auditor General's report. However, release of this information could identify investigative techniques and priorities. It could increase the vulnerability of the program to fraud and could expose our investigative techniques and those of external partner agencies. It is those internal reports to which we referred that could jeopardize our investigative techniques and increase the potential for fraud in the program that was referred to in the response.
Nonetheless, in terms of the process for how we're developing and monitoring these frameworks, and how we're tracking them and the processes that we put in place, we'd be very happy to provide additional information as the committee requests.
