Mr. Speaker, I think the hon. member over there is denying the undeniable.
In the Auditor General's report, he said:
However, information to explain the difference of $3.1 billion between the funding allocated to departments and agencies and the amount reported spent was not available.
In other words, the money may have been spent appropriately. It may be in the public accounts. Perhaps it lapsed or perhaps it was spent. We do not know what it was spent on.
How can the hon. member possibly deny that this $3.1 billion is missing, in the sense that we do not know what it was spent on, or whether it was even spent? That is very clear from the Auditor General's report.
