COMMITTEE MOTION 133-17(5): PERFORMANCE MEASURES, CARRIED
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommends that the Department of Justice include the performance measures from Auditor General’s report in future reports on the department’s progress in implementing the Auditor General’s recommendations and in future departmental business plans. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Motion is in order. To the motion. Mr. Dolynny.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. This motion is somewhat self-explanatory, but to put it into context, as well, committee, not that long ago, and Regular Members, as well, went through a business planning process to which all departments bring forward performance indicators, I guess compass waypoints, dashboard indicators that show the performance of their departments. In this case here, this would have been the corrections services. I would assume that, and from our review, a lot of these indicators…and there wasn’t a lot of them, was probably the question. So, we’re hoping that through the process of the Auditor General’s review as well as committee review, that the department undertake a review and implement a much better monitoring system with these dashboard indicators and include them in upcoming business plans.
Again, the question is that if they were done properly, these issues that were noted in the Auditor General’s report should have been picked up by the department and executive much sooner than it did. So, I think committee feels pretty strongly about this motion. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. To the motion.
