Actually, my continuing to appear at committee, the supplementary estimates process and the work the Treasury Board of Canada does before it releases any funds are all to ensure that this very due diligence process occurs. I know this as a former president of the Treasury Board. I sat around that table numerous times to ensure that accountability and due diligence related to taxpayer dollars were being undertaken.
All funding is subject to rigorous vetting. As minister, I have doubled down on the importance of being prudent with Canadian taxpayer dollars.
