Mr. Chairman, I will share my time with my colleague.
Mr. Fonberg, Ms. Fraser appeared before the committee in February, after tabling her report. In this report, she states:
It is not known to what extent government information and assets may have been exposed to risk and who is accountable for that risk.
When she was asked if she could exclude the possibility that security had been compromised, she answered: “In our opinion, there is a risk that security was breached.”
How can an organization committed to defending and protecting the public get caught by... How is it possible that an audit from the Auditor General's office was needed in order to reveal a situation that could have been dramatic? We do not know what exactly could have happened. Why do you not have sufficient internal control?
Had there not been an audit by the Auditor General's office, could you have applied some process yourselves to analyze the situation and make sure that it never happens again? This is extremely worrying.
