Yes. With respect to those plans, we also noted that the vast majority of Crown corporations had not had their corporate plans approved. I was really quite surprised though when the auditor general mentioned that. Government approval of corporate plans and the reporting of financial statements is not the same in the case of Crown corporations.
Let me put it another way.
I am a citizen and I would like to know in which province and region of Canada expenditures are made by a Crown corporation that provides a lot of funding, such as Export Development Canada. Yet there is no way for me to get that information. I know this because my team and I looked into it and that information does not exist.
Do you not think that Canadians and Quebecers should have access to that information if they wish? Very specifically, who could ask Crown corporations to disclose that information in such cases?
