I guess the follow-up to that is, if we knew what those moneys were to go to, at least they would know how much they're getting each year to do that. I just know it's very expensive for all these towns and townships to go through the process and just then hope.
Anyway, I'll go to something else quickly. In March 2021, the Auditor General found that half of the investing in Canada plan's reporting did not include programs that pre-dated its creation, even though they made up almost half of the $188 billion in commitments. The problem was flagged in 2017 and 2019, but to me, it doesn't look like it was acted on. The auditor also determined that a fifth of the planned spending was unspent in the first three years of the plan and was moved to later years.
Simply put, half the investing in Canada plan reporting was for projects done before it existed, and a fifth of its funding was pushed to further years.
Can you tell me how this was able to go on for so many years?
