Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Urie, I want to follow up.
Earlier, in response to some of the questions lobbed from the Liberal side, you said that you deemed this seed funding program to be very successful, “a great success”, and you said that one of the frustrations about the program was the criticism it's been receiving. I find that a little tone-deaf, frankly. We're here because of the Auditor General's report about the massive amount of corruption and conflict of interest involving Liberal insiders being appointed and approving for themselves tens of millions of dollars. With respect to the criticism you've heard around this table or through the Auditor General's report, I'm going to suggest that this might be a very strong feature as to why the program is, rightfully, getting a lot of criticism.
I want to follow up on what Mr. Perkins said earlier about getting taxpayers' money returned from the projects that were deemed ineligible. You said that you hadn't done that yet and that the government hadn't reached out and you hadn't reached out to anybody to get any money back yet because you were evaluating it. There are 10 projects, for example, that the Auditor General said are worth $59 million that were ineligible. They were not eligible for this money.
What more do you need to study before asking them for the money back?
