Public Accounts committee  Once the building is designated—for example, if Defence has a designated building—it is National Defence's responsibility to take care of it. They can consult with Parks Canada for advice if they want to do renovations. However, at the end of the day, it is within their portfolio

Public Accounts committee  Well, it's for operational requirements. As has been mentioned previously, they maintain a building if they're going to use it for their operations. They take into consideration the heritage aspects of it, but it is their responsibility.

Public Accounts committee  We didn't look at whether there was sufficient funding. As we mentioned in the report, Parks Canada had some money provided, but there was a deficit, so they weren't able to address all the backlog. We didn't look at whether they had sufficient funds.

Public Accounts committee  From the perspective of our work and what we look at, there hasn't really been a major change in the framework.

Public Accounts committee  Are you talking about, in paragraph 23.5, when they need to certify to Treasury Board?

Public Accounts committee  The departments will be able to answer better, but we saw that they needed to certify that the information they were providing was complete and accurate for—

Public Accounts committee  Yes.

Public Accounts committee  We were just told it wasn't available. They didn't have it.

Public Accounts committee  We asked for that information in order to confirm some of the information within the databases. At times we weren't provided with that information. For example, if there was documentation to support information within the databases, at times that information wasn't available.
