Mr. Speaker, as to the question that the federal government has received recommendations from the Auditor General is correct, and in three separate reports is correct, but that the federal government has not acted is incorrect.
To date, the federal government has not fully implemented all of the recommendations. It has not met all of the objectives that the Auditor General has suggested, but important steps have been taken, such as reducing the climbing costs. Now that the privacy of information questions have been resolved, an action plan has been put together to the satisfaction of the Auditor General. I think the member will find in the blues of the committee that she used the term “cautious optimism” that things are going forward.
The foundations are audited. They can come to the House and some of them perhaps should. They can be asked to appear before committee. Some of them perhaps should be audited by the Auditor General.
