Thank you.
To the committee, I want to say that I find this very troubling. This Crown corporation has been proven to have many problems, and now it's going to manage a huge assistance program. I think we need to keep a very close eye on this.
Mr. Ricard, the government has made roughly $200 billion available in loans and loan guarantees. We're not really sure where this is going to end. The Canada account now has no upper limit. Parliament is voting only on spending, and those loans and loan guarantees will become expenditures once they are discharged after a few years. At that point it'll be too late to exercise even the slightest control.
Is there any way to have greater control over what's being done?
