Response to Parliamentary Committees and External Audits
Response to Parliamentary Committees
During the reporting period, there were no Parliamentary Committee recommendations on which the Agency was asked to respond.
Response to the Auditor General (including to the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development)
During the reporting period, no recommendation of the Auditor General nor the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development was addressed specifically to the Agency.
External Audits (Note: These refer to other external audits conducted by the Public Service Commission of Canada or the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages)
No external audits were done during fiscal year 2008–2009.
Internal Audits and Evaluations
In 2008-2009, the Canadian Transportation Agency planned to conduct two audits in addition to the horizontal audit coverage of small departments and agencies provided through the Office of the Comptroller General. As a result of a departure, the position of Chief Audit Executive was vacant for most of 2008-2009. The first attempt at staffing the position proved unsuccessful; however the second attempt resulted in the appointment of a Chief Audit Executive in early 2009-2010. Accordingly, the Agency delayed the two planned audits until 2009-2010. Senior management determined that, because the Agency was selected for two horizontal audits conducted by the Comptroller General during the fiscal year, this audit coverage was sufficient.
The Agency is an independent quasi-judicial regulatory body with a mandate to implement regulatory policy governing the federal transportation network. Accordingly, it has no program evaluation. Pursuant to Section 53 of the Canada Transportation Act, the Minister of Transport is required to evaluate the effectiveness of the legislation in achieving the Agency's strategic outcome and program activity.
