Thank you, Madam Chair.
Respecting the taking of polls, we were told departments must keep that information in their records, which they have not always done. I don't care whether or not they've recorded them, the fact is that they did not provide justification for them, nor did they inform Public Works and Government Services Canada of them. I haven't read the entire report; I only focused on built heritage.
If, within a department, officials do things that are outside their jurisdiction, in other words they overstep their authority, they spend funds without justification or they do not proceed in compliance with the Financial Administration Act, is that a serious mistake, or is it minor?
