Mr. Speaker, we see another coincidence here. Once again the government waited until the official opposition made an access request before it released the results of this damning internal audit. It sat on the latest one for over a year.
CEDA spends more than $300 million a year, so I can see why it wanted to keep those audits hidden. But audits are supposed to cause the government and the department to act. They are supposed to cause the government to fix the problems. But after three audits the quote in the document once again is “The situation has been—the same”.
If the results of these audits are so bad that they have to be hidden, why are they not bad enough for the government to fix them?
