Public Accounts committee That had been a contention in the past, but in reviewing the recommendations of the Auditor General, we fully agree that her definition of backlog is a viable and workable definition. Under the frame of reference she was dealing with, we accept that definition and agree there is a backlog.

Public Accounts committee We have redesigned how we will deal with those kinds of cases and have put together a new matrix of what we consider A, B, and C cases. The first set of cases will be addressed, the most serious cases, in a response time of between 45 and 60 days. The cases that fall outside that would be addressed within 90 days, and then the routine cases will be beyond the 90 days.

Public Safety committee I can confirm what Mr. Judd is saying with regard to our intention being turned into the reality of working very closely together, and the issue of whether something is a national security issue for an intelligence purpose or when it becomes criminal is something that we work very closely together on to make sure that gap does not exist.

Public Safety committee I don't know how specific you would like it to be. We have been dealing with a company to bring a new product on-line.
May 15th, 2007Committee meeting
Commr Beverley A. Busson
Public Safety committee Well, yes. What has happened is that has fallen through. Their ability to bring us what we needed was not satisfactory, so we have decided to support the database that is presently in place with internal technical support. We believe we have a fix for that database that will not only bring efficiencies but also save us from going to a scary place with regard to software engineering.
