I think those are all fine points, but here is my fear. I've been at the public accounts committee and I've heard senior government officials say, “Yes, I failed to deliver, but we have a plan.” They come back a year later and say, yes, they failed again, but now they have a plan to get on the plan again.
Here's what I think will happen. I hope I'm wrong, I really do. I think they will fail consistently to meet this standard. We'll be back again in a year or two, and we'll have the “building Canada stronger” plan, which once again will fail to get projects built, and we won't see shovels go into the ground.
Would you support, for example, an amendment highlighting that where regulators or the government fails, they'd have to publish or, in other words, name and shame those regulators, agencies or government officials who are failing to meet these deadlines?
