Since 1999, the City has made excellent progress implementing the recommendations.
A total of 294 outstanding recommendations were included in the 2017 follow-up review.
Among the 294 recommendations, our review verified that 93 recommendations (31 per cent) have been fully implemented, and 13 recommendations (5 per cent) are no longer applicable. There are 188 recommendations (64 per cent) that remain not fully implemented.
