The Auditor General is always wary of saying that a particular program should get more funding. You'll see that Parks Canada got more funding for infrastructure, and that a fair share of it was earmarked for the conservation of historic sites. The problem we're trying to highlight here is that there was an absence of priority-setting. Work has been carried out on a number of sites without really determining which sites are a top priority when it comes to conservation.
Furthermore, the historical sites protection system, which is the purview of other departments aside from Parks Canada, needs to be strengthened. These sites are only subject to a Treasury Board policy, and this policy only deals with buildings. You'll understand that at National Defence, for example, operations rather than conservation are the top priority.
