My question was addressed to the representative of Infrastructure Canada. I will repeat it.
When a department has a budget of nearly $200 billion, it must be as transparent as possible about how it spends that money. We know that it is very difficult to check what is going on at Infrastructure Canada and to obtain details about delays, the achievement of objectives and the tracking of expenditures.
Why did you wait for the Auditor General to tell you that there was a lack of transparency before you realized that this was indeed the case? Had you taken action before that? It seems to me that it was obvious that you were pretty much in the dark.
