Thank you.
Part of your answers today tell us that the money can be carried over from one year to the next, and that that's fine.
One of the major problems is that the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation had approved a project in last year's budget, and when the time came to spend the money, we were told that there was no money left and that a new fund had to be created to bring in money, but that it would depend on Build Canada Homes. There were issues on the ground in the meantime.
Thank you for being here today.
Madam Chair, I would like to come back to the motion I tabled at the last committee meeting. Basically, the motion says: That the committee report to the House to request that the government establish a public and independent inquiry into cost overruns on IT contracts, including Phoenix, ArriveCAN and Benefit Delivery Modernization.
The argument is that these three programs had cost overruns of nearly $10 billion. I think this more than justifies setting up an independent commission of inquiry. The idea behind this motion is simply that the committee report to the House of Commons to request this independent public inquiry.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
