Mr. Chairman, I must speak to this motion. The motion is based on the Auditor General's findings that the department has not been doing a good job of completing performance evaluations. I think it should be noted that the Department of Health is probably not the only department to be in this situation. However, the standing committee is of the opinion that given the difficult work undertaken by health professionals, it is very important for the department to take the performance appraisal process seriously. We are recommending that all supervisors should be given a year to complete in-service training in the use of the government's performance review system, and I would hope that the department might be able to set some new and improved standards for completing staff performance evaluations. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
