Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Giroux, I was shocked to read your report, just as I was shocked to learn, during your statement at the beginning of the meeting, how things were really going. For example, the Standing Committee on Finance is no longer kept informed. I also note that the word “usually” comes up a lot: you say that you usually have this or that report or that you usually receive information. So there is a huge lack of information. I consider this to be a very serious lack of transparency. We're talking about tens of billions, if not hundreds of billions of dollars. As far as we're concerned today, we're talking about almost $100 billion dollars.
In your opinion, has Treasury Board completely lost control over spending?
