Hon. David Lametti, P.C., M.P., Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada: Thank you, senator. I would have to get you the exact number but there were eight recommendations. I believe we’re at seven. Certainly, we took that work to heart immediately. I can say that as Minister of Justice and Attorney General, I had internalized — I wasn’t consulted for that report, for good reason, but former Minister McLellan did a great job consulting all of my predecessors.

I think I had internalized the kinds of things that she had recommended in that report moving forward. Regarding the things that haven’t been done — changing the name — we have already segregated work in the department, but in some cases it is literally the name plate change. We can come back with a more fulsome answer, but in spirit we’re following that report already, and in practice most of the recommendations have been implemented.
