Mr. Speaker, there is nothing new here. The facts remain as they are. Indeed an audit was being undertaken in the department. Work was being done as a result of preliminary results of that audit. That is fully appropriate. I was briefed on the whole audit and the management response once that work was completed. That was on November 17.
What is critically important here is that we, once the management response was strengthened, provided information to Canadians that we had a problem, that we were prepared to deal with it, that we were going to fix it, and we are doing just that.
