There was some discussion that a good portion of the stimulus was going to come through infrastructure spending. I know that Transport and Finance have had the opportunity to speak with the Minister of Transport, Mr. Baird. I don't know if at this point, as you pointed out, there's nothing in terms of the entire package. I don't think it's just Transport we had suggested we speak to. We were talking about a whole range of different issues surrounding the issue of this stimulus package. Obviously we don't want to replicate the work of Transport or Finance, but there are the inter-workings of this stimulus spending that we had looked to address.
Obviously you've pointed out that nothing has passed as of yet, but we want to ensure that the infrastructure for accountability is in place. I'm not sure, with the absence of legislation at this point, that there's any hope of getting any answers we don't already know, having seen testimony from Transport or Finance, but there are other mechanisms and things we should look at as we establish the ground rules for this stimulus spending.
I think at this point we might want to speak to anybody from the Auditor General's office, certainly to different departments within government. I'm not sure that now would be the time to bring the transport minister, having heard what he had to say before the transport and finance committees. I'm not sure at this point that there's anything he has to contribute that we haven't heard already.
