Response summary: Children are particularly vulnerable to sexual abuse and exploitation and experience deep and long-lasting harm as a result of such victimization. The responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation is shared by federal, provincial and territorial governments. The Government is committed to work with its provincial and territorial counterparts as well as non-governmental organizations and other stakeholders to strengthen efforts to combat all forms of child sexual abuse and exploitation as well as to address the needs of child victims.

Response to the Auditor General (including to the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development)
The Follow-up Audit on Internal Audit examined the extent of progress made by the government in acting upon the commitments it made in response to the observations and recommendations of the 2004 report on internal audit. The results, reported in Chapter 3 of the Office of the Auditor General of Canada’s June 2011 report, were largely positive. However, recommendation 3.80, recommended that departments, among them Justice Canada, who had not yet had an external quality assessment of their internal audit function should have an assessment conducted as required by the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing and the Treasury Board Policy on Internal Audit. The Department agreed (http://www.oag-bvg.gc.ca/internet/English/parl_oag_201106_03_e_35371.html#hd5d) and completed an external quality assessment during the 2011-12 fiscal year.
External audits conducted by the Public Service Commission of Canada or the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages
The Department was not the subject of an audit conducted by either the Public Service Commission of Canada or the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages in 2011-12.
