In February 2009, the Auditor General of Canada tabled her December 2008 report in the House of Commons. As noted in the previous section, Chapter 7 related to CSC. In its response to the Auditor General’s report, CSC agreed to all five recommendations and committed to address them by March 31, 2010. All recommendations were fully implemented by the end of 2010-2011. The OAG‘s report, including CSC’s response can be found at:

In addition, the December 2008 annual report of the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development (CESD) made reference to CSC, more specifically with respect to the following commitment: “Reduction of water consumption via the implementation of multiple measures to conserve potable water. By March 2010, CSC will reduce its potable water consumption by 10 percent.”

The audit observed that because of a lack of accurate monitoring and reporting by its facilities, CSC is unable to reliably track progress on its commitment. Since the time of the audit, measures have been taken to enhance our ability to track progress on our commitments and we remain on track to meet our reduction target. The CESD report can be found at:

In November 2010, the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages tabled in Parliament Volume II of its Annual Report for 2009-2010 including the Report Card.

CSC’s overall rating was ‘D’ or ‘poor’. CSC acknowledged the results and committed to making improvements. A result-based official languages improvement action plan aimed at addressing the weaknesses identified was developed. This plan, approved at the National Human Resource Management Committee in January 2011, is currently being implemented. It includes amongst other topics a robust monitoring of the active offer across the Department which includes:

• A monthly monitoring of in-person and by-phone active offer at all sites, with a compliance report produced and shared with the Executive Committee members on a quarterly basis.
