Thank you very much.
As everybody knows, the main estimates for 2012-13 were tabled last spring. This fall, the Auditor General's report was published, and some sections dealt with the Department of National Defence. We were logically expecting some adjustments to be made under supplementary estimates (B) for 2012-13, since this report had not been published when the main estimates for 2012-13 were tabled.
In his report, the Auditor General states that in several bases, some buildings did not comply with specific standards, namely fire safety standards. He also says that 60% of reviewed sites did not comply. We know that tragedies can happen when these standards are not taken seriously. We are talking about safety standards. It is essential that they be complied with, particularly in military buildings.
The supplementary estimates (B) for 2012-13 do not contain any special funds for emergency updates. Why not?
