Thank you, Madam Chair.
Good morning to all the witnesses.
My first question is for Ms. Hogan.
Good morning, Ms. Hogan. It's a pleasure to see you once again.
I'll get straight to the point. I was surprised to hear you say the Department of Finance had given you full access to the information. I nearly fell off my chair when you said you couldn't provide Parliament with specific information because it was protected by cabinet secrecy.
This is a program that we deployed in only a few months, at a cost of $100 billion, according to the last economic update of November 30, 2020. I'm sure you'll agree that raises more than mere ordinary doubts; I'd even say it raises serious questions about government transparency. I'm trying to understand. Can you enlighten us?
Given your role, how do you perceive this unique state of affairs?
