Thanks. That is of concern, since as we speak there are P3 contracts being considered that could include foreign entities.
My next question is on advertising. Your reports on spending on advertising are issued at an extremely delayed rate. One of the actions that the government, to their credit, took out of the Gomery Commission was to actually become more transparent and open and to issue reports on spending on advertising, and yet we have to wait. Members of Parliament who are responsible for scrutinizing spending had to wait for two years after the spending.
I'm wondering if you are giving consideration to a rapid expeditiousness of those reports in lieu of the fact that contrary to what the government has been reporting in the House, the spending on advertising is rising, and rising for things such as $20-plus million on the War of 1812, which members of the public are saying they're not particularly excited about.
So I'm wondering if you could speak to what measures on openness and accountability in advertising the department is pursuing under your mandate to improve more expeditious reporting on the actual spending on advertising.
