I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) Yes.
(2)–(4) The
department's electronic system for tracking recommendations is
currently tracking 661 recommendations and it is not configured to provide a breakdown
of the data requested within the available time frame. In addition, certain
recommendations relate to sensitive security-related information that requires
thorough assessment prior to a decision regarding public release of that
information.
I ask that the
member place the question on notice and I will make sure that he gets an
answer.
