That's it. I hear you, and I don't want to be unfair. Again, if this was something new and you'd done your best and it didn't quite work and now you're going to improve it, I would have a lot more comfort just accepting what you're saying. But that's not the case. This seems to be quite chronic, and what bothers me is that it's on the human side. I'd rather hear that you're losing track of counting bullets than I would that you've lost track in providing decent and affordable housing for our soldiers, because remember, it's not just them, it's their families too. This should be a bigger priority, and it sounds like it's just a lot of rhetoric.
For instance, sir, again it's on your comments this morning. In recommendation two, the Auditor General said once the policy review is completed, DND “should develop adequate plans that identify the work, time, and resources needed to meet these requirements.” Your answer, sir, was, “Once the new policy is completed, we will put in place a long-term plan that will identify the work, time, and resources needed to keep our housing portfolio in good condition.”
How is that any different from the other commitments that have been made all these times before? How, sir, is this any different, and what assurance do we have this time that you actually mean it?
