Thank you for the question.
It may not be a problem of transparency so much as a problem with action, I believe, on the part of certain departments. Mr. Weltman mentioned this. Certain departments are not used to reporting as efficiently as Infrastructure Canada, which has had a database since 2002 and reports on all projects as they proceed. In fact, I must commend them for putting in place this database.
We were told that certain departments were in the process of doing this and that is why we regularly continue to send these requests. For instance, Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada can provide aggregate data, as you pointed out, but for the time being, it cannot necessarily provide data broken down by reserve and so on.
Is there a transparency problem? I feel it is more a problem with communication and information that will be disclosed subsequently. All of this is relatively recent. We will see later if there is really a transparency issue.
