We've asked over and over again to show us such a list, and we were told no such list exists, we can't possibly do it. This is the parliamentary committee the minister answers to, and which you answer to. You don't answer to CBC. You don't answer to Rosemary Barton with Newsworld. Why should they know about this before we do when we've asked those specific questions of successive ministers and successive bureaucrats?
It chokes me to find out on my BlackBerry that such a list not only exists, it's going to be posted at 3:15 today. Somebody's in contempt of this committee if they've told us repeatedly no such information exists. We'll find out at 3:15, I guess.
The other thing I'd like more detailed information on is we've been told in a roundabout way that the Auditor General has been consulted on this vote 35, and we've been led to believe that she's fine with it. I don't dispute that the Auditor General was consulted, but what specifically did the Auditor General say? Did the Auditor General have any reservations or concerns about this vote? They have voiced concerns about five votes since 1968.
