Madam Chair, so it is not added to the project cost, it is part of the project cost. I will have to analyze Hansard tomorrow to find out what exactly that meant.
Again, I am extremely confused and probably somewhat disappointed again with the way we are handling our large-scale projects, the way we are handling remediation work and our demolition work, and how we kind of peel it off and call it something else, and we don’t look at the total project as it is in terms of what did this project cost taxpayers. I will continue my championing of the system to show that we have to do things better. I am hoping that the Minister approves of that statement, is that it is confusing.
I am good with numbers, but I can tell you that, for the life of me, I have had to struggle with trying to understand how our Public Works and Services deals with these types of projects. It just does not make sense at all. I know that the Auditor General of Canada is also in my court and they have also asked those same questions. I will work with the colleagues I need to work with to hopefully bring some clarity as we move forward so we don’t repeat this type of endeavour with large-scale projects. At the end of the day, I think the public deserves to know and has to have transparency and clarity on where we are putting our money. Quite frankly, right now those two variables are not in the current process. Thank you, Madam Chair.
