Mr. Speaker, the hon. secretary does not know that. The fact is the committee has not yet been established so that the government may continue taking political advantage of CIDA.
CIDA has about 130 auditors from 49 countries trained by Canadian taxpayer dollars. CIDA has never used them except once. Guess what, the aid money was not used for the intended purpose.
CIDA's accountability, transparency, reputation and credibility are in question.
Why does the minister refuse to use those auditors who are trained in Canada?
