I guess maybe the Minister is thinking of something different than what I’m thinking of. The coroner’s report, from my recollection, does not give us how recommendations were handled, what an individual department did with those recommendations. So it’s conceivable that the Standing Committee on Social Programs, for instance, may ask for the data, all the recommendations that came from the coroner in the last year, please provide us with how the recommendations were handled, what each department did. I guess what I’m suggesting is instead of waiting for standing committee to ask for it, the department or the government somehow, maybe it goes through a different department, or that a department is proactive and it’s also a way of ensuring that recommendations have been dealt with. Maybe the department didn’t think the recommendation was necessary and refused the recommendation, but it’s that sort of information that’s important that we get to the public and it’s important that it get to Members so we can consider, from an accountability perspective, that the recommendations of these people that we’ve hired to do these jobs are at least being looked at and hopefully being adhered to and that we’re seeing positive change. Thank you.
