This is what I'm asked to do by my deputy minister, and I will be judged on the outcome of the work.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2236450\" data-originallang=\"en\">It's the same thing with regard to Madame Dub\u00e9, the director general of corporate services, and the same thing with Madam McCulloch, who is the director of ATIP.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2236451\" data-originallang=\"en\">What we've done this year that we did not do in previous years is we've asked people to report on a monthly basis as to where they are in the processing of their files. So we have the capacity on a monthly basis, the way we do with other responsibilities managers may have, to ask them where they are with regard to delivering on time, whether it's 80%, 90%, 100%. So we now have the capacity to track whether or not people are delivering on that commitment. Moreover, we have included in their performance agreement the obligation to deliver within the timeframe provided to us by the law, bearing in mind, of course, that they have capacity or don't have capacity to do it.</p>",

C'est la t\u00e2che que m'a confi\u00e9e mon sous-ministre, et mon travail sera jug\u00e9 en fonction des r\u00e9sultats</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2236450\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est la m\u00eame chose pour Mme Dub\u00e9, la directrice g\u00e9n\u00e9rale des services int\u00e9gr\u00e9s, et Mme McCulloch, la directrice de l'AIPRP.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2236451\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce qui est nouveau cette ann\u00e9e par rapport aux ann\u00e9es pr\u00e9c\u00e9dentes, c\u2019est que nous avons demand\u00e9 aux gens de rendre compte, tous les mois, des progr\u00e8s r\u00e9alis\u00e9s dans le traitement de leurs dossiers. Nous avons donc la capacit\u00e9 de leur demander, sur une base mensuelle, comme pour toute autre responsabilit\u00e9 au niveau des gestionnaires, o\u00f9 ils en sont dans le respect des d\u00e9lais prescrits, pour savoir si le travail est termin\u00e9 \u00e0 80, \u00e0 90 ou \u00e0 100 p. 100. Par cons\u00e9quent, nous avons maintenant la capacit\u00e9 de faire le suivi des progr\u00e8s r\u00e9alis\u00e9s afin de d\u00e9terminer si cet engagement est honor\u00e9. De plus, nous avons inclus dans leur entente de rendement l'obligation de terminer les travaux dans les d\u00e9lais prescrits par la loi, tout en tenant compte, bien entendu, de la question de savoir s\u2019ils disposent des ressources n\u00e9cessaires pour y arriver.</p>"
