You indicated in your opening statement that part of your role as COO is to implement recommendations of the AG report. One of those recommendations of the AG report is to recover monies that were inappropriately taken from taxpayers. We have approximately $400 million identified as misused taxpayer funds that went to Liberal insiders.
A couple of months ago, we heard from one of the current acting directors, Cassie Doyle. I put to her several questions, as did other members, as to when taxpayers would receive their money back, and she refused to give us a straight answer.
It is something that I know the Auditor General is quite concerned about. When she testified back in June of this year, there was no clear indication from the government as to what the timetable was.
I'm asking you, sir, as the COO, what is the plan, what is the process and when can Canadians expect to receive their hard-earned tax dollars back?
