In your statement, Mr. Marshall, you said that you intended to reduce the space allocated to public servants in the interest of a pragmatic exercise and that you obviously were counting on certain partners.
In this regard, the Auditor General's report tells us something that is rather out of the ordinary. As you mentioned earlier, of the leases reviewed, it was found that some departments had used their own budget to fit up their premises. When there were cost overruns, the Auditor General told us that there was a problem. So this is not a trivial matter; it has to do with the whole matter of accountability.
What do you plan to do or what are you doing, because I assume that your objective is to comply with standards, to act on this? What will Treasury Board do with respect to accountability? This must be done in other cases when departments are slightly or very delinquent, if I may use that word. What steps will be put in place and what will the timelines be to ensure that this happens as infrequently as possible, or never again?
