Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

It does not publicly establish the suspect's precise access or what information, if any, may have been compromised.

Adam Hatfield, an acting assistant deputy director at the Treasury Board Secretariat, emphasized another important point.

Screening improvements can involve the training, tools, and judgment of security officials rather than just policy changes.

From my perspective, this is another example of how security screening needs to extend well beyond the initial assessment or access to information.

I, I see, I'm gonna say particularly in two things.

I don't know if some of the people who'd be watching this might have seen, there's an email that actually came out to team leads and I even think senior procurement officers, or, um, that, uh, TBS is hoping...

Well, I'm not saying hoping, I think they're gonna be amalgamating many of our policies, right? Sort of thing.

So, like-

So since CRTC is actually a cost recovery-

Mm-hmm

... department And what happens is, is that we get $5 million or so, I wanna say, of appropriation every year from TBS.

Mm-hmm.

you won't be able to move the needle as quickly.

And I think for me, looking at that jargon, looking at the acronyms, looking at the programs, looking at the norms in expediting issues and getting them to be signed off and how Treasury Board Secretariat allocates funding to programs and to submissions and how RFPs are being announced, all of that stuff I've accumulated throughout the course of my government career has created a sense of like savviness, I would say.

And it's allowed me to speak yet another language.

I call it bureaucraties.
