Madam Speaker, I will say “no” as a direct answer to the member's question, but I will offer to sing “happy birthday” to his mom if he so chooses. I do wish the member's mother a happy birthday as I have wished my mother a happy birthday fairly recently. She is a bit older than the member opposite's mom, but taught me the same values of accountability and affordability, those principles that I hold dear.
I agree with the member that we need to hold our institutions accountable and our public servants accountable. We need to hold ourselves accountable. I understand that we take the concerns that the member has raised very seriously.
This government is committed to transparency and accountability. We acknowledge that the procurement ombud's and the Auditor General's reports have identified gaps in management processes, rules and controls at the CBSA and we have acted through numerous ways that I have detailed in my longer response. Transparency in the management of these processes is paramount.
