Madam Speaker, the Auditor General appeared at committee just days ago to speak to the reports that were tabled this past June regarding the government's recent failures. The Auditor General found that, in its efforts to reduce the size of federal lands and transform them into affordable housing, the government is not only measuring success by agreements signed with the promise of completion but also not delivering on its own goal to provide affordable housing to those most in need.
In the case of GC Strategies, federal departments were found to have frequently disregarded policies meant to ensure that work was done and proper security clearances were issued.
These are not isolated incidences, and this is not a new government. We are going to get more of the same. It is a pattern repeated over and over again. Offering to follow the rules again is not going to cut it.
