Résumé
In this report, I have concluded that the Ministry of the Attorney General’s
conduct, in failing to properly support the SIU in its efforts to implement my
recommendations and in neglecting to take sufficient and timely steps
towards implementing key recommendations from Oversight Unseen, was
unreasonable. I have made 16 recommendations. I have recommended that
the Ministry support the SIU and take all necessary steps to promote the
adoption of the recommendations for legislative reform that I originally made
in Oversight Unseen – subject to some amendments to take into consideration
developments in this area since 2008. I have also asked the Ministry to
provide my Office with regular six-month updates on its progress in
implementing my recommendations. I have repeated my call for legislative
reform, making 13 recommendations to the government of Ontario relating to
a new legislative structure for the SIU.
