Minister, I was asking a very specific question. We're seeing the majority of recommendations by the Giant Mine Oversight Board being disregarded by the project team. It seems like the minister.... It seems like a project that's run amok. Maybe, Minister, you could follow through and look at some of those recommendations that haven't been followed through on and see what you can do to remedy some of those local concerns.
There are also questions about where Giant Mine remediation project training dollars have been spent. The oversight board's 2024 report in front of me revealed that over 50% of reported training hours were logged by people with zero recorded work hours on the project. From the actual report:
Further investigation into the data has revealed that most training hours fall into an “other” category, where the training taking place is unknown or not reported. It was also discovered that over 50% of the reported training hours were logged by individuals who had no recorded work hours [on] the Project. ...It is not clear how the training dollars being awarded are being spent, nor what the education outcomes are in relation to the dollar value of this public funding.
Minister, how can Canadians trust Liberal oversight when public funds are wasted on training individuals who aren't even working on the project?
