That report was then sent to the OPW. Following the OPW's request for it to be done in the first place, the report has since been sent to the Comptroller and Auditor General and he will do what he does best. I look forward to his report. I genuinely do. I want to know the following, however. There was a process in place and a request from the OPW to have this report done. The report comments seriously on five projects. How can Mr. Buckley come in here and not substantiate, in real terms, what has been done with this report? What has been done to guarantee to this committee that there was not a significant loss to taxpayers? What has been done to change processes in the OPW to ensure situations like this do not happen again? From what Mr. Buckley has said today, I have seen nothing that addresses those two issues.
