Mr. Speaker, I find it ironic that the parliamentary secretary is trumpeting the Minister of Public Works and Government Services' seven-point plan when the government does not seem to have much respect for the newly created secretariat or the plan.
A few days ago, I asked the minister why the cost updates will not be released 60 days after the forecasts, as stated in the third point of the plan. The government is already breaking promises. Now we are being told to wait until the fall. That was in May, so the cost updates ought to be available in early July. That is their plan, but they cannot even stick to it.
We have also been told that nothing has been purchased, that no decision has been made, but the minister had no problem spending $50,000 for a photo op with the F-35s, which, really, have not even been selected yet, because there is no commitment and nothing has been done.
Is that not a little ironic? We are no farther ahead than we were before.
