Mr. Speaker, if they were following these procedures before, then why did the boondoggle occur in the first place? Rather obviously, that simply is not the case.
The minister has had a long time to address these problems. People in HRDC have known about them for many months. Treasury Board is supposed to oversee the financial control of government money.
Why did the minister wait again until this HRDC scandal hit the newspapers before she did anything? Why the wait? Why now?
