Thank you.
This is for the Auditor General.
Building on some of the questions my colleagues have asked, it's very concerning to me that there's a resistance, I guess, within the public service to modernizing the workspace and to identifying the usage of space. What role can the public accounts committee play in making sure that we overcome that resistance?
I'll add a second layer here, about information. We've had only 83% response rate based on the workers going in or the utilization of space by workers. Thirty-seven of 105 tenants provided monitoring data. Without the data, how can the public service really zone in on the buildings that are surplus, where we can make changes within that real estate? Without the co-operation of departments in providing the information—accurate information—Build Canada Homes is not able to access these buildings or the lands. That is very concerning to me.
