The government's economic recovery plan suffers from a lack of transparency. We saw that last week in this committee. We have no figures, no data on the plan's economic impact. The parliamentary budget director does not have the summary necessary to an exhaustive analysis of the government plan.
Furthermore, this morning, I attended a meeting of the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics. We heard from the acting Access to Information Commissioner, Suzanne Legault, who presented the organization's annual report to us. I recall from that testimony that there were a lot of complaints about undue delays in responses by departments, agencies and so on. It appears the delays were caused by the intervention and consultation of a third organization. In a number of cases, the third party organization was the Privy Council Office or the Treasury Board Secretariat.
Don't you think that the Treasury Board and Privy Council Office could substantially improve their transparency rules so as to inform Quebec and Canadian taxpayers about how their money is spent and, especially, what the results of those expenditures are in the case of the recovery plan in particular? Can you provide us with any specific statistics on the amounts invested in Quebec under the economic recovery plan, not the announced amounts, but the amounts actually granted?
