Brian Scott says the department will take appropriate steps once the contractor finishes its promised review of the flawed citations.
A story from online news outlet The Independent on Saturday highlighted several citations in the report which appeared not to exist.
The story quoted a researcher at Dalhousie University who said the Deloitte report cited an article with her as the author that did not exist.
