Mr. Chair, there have been no concerns raised by the Office of the Auditor General related to this project and, frankly, in the audit record over the last five years—no general concern that required action or follow-up by the NCC.
However, because it was extremely helpful, I do think it's important, and I appreciate the special examination that was done in 2017, which took a deep dive into the NCC and concluded that the NCC did not have sufficient capital funds to keep its asset base in good condition.
That's what led, I believe, Mr. Chair, the government to make a decision to offer additional capital funds to the NCC in order to start addressing its deferred maintenance challenges.
