There may be some times when we're looking for more immediate take-up. Sometimes it's difficult to point to the effects of the work. For example, the new architecture of review in Canada has compelled many organizations that are now subject to review to actually buttress and create new units inside their departments, such as the Department of National Defence. Prior to the existence of NSICOP and NSIRA, the Department of National Defence didn't really have a formal mechanism to respond to external review and now it does. That's encouraging.
The new architecture of review is pulling the government forward as a whole. There are some things we can point to directly. For example, the government did announce in the budget the creation of a foreign interference coordinator role at Public Safety—which is also in its recent report that I pointed to a minute ago entitled “Countering an Evolving Threat”. We've seen that some of the recommendations from NSICOP ended up directly in mandate letters for ministers, like DND and Public Safety. We've seen the public safety minister act directly on a CBSA review recommendation and implement direct change.
We're always looking for more take-up and more traction, because the purpose of the committee, why we're here, is to improve the situation for Canadians.
