Public Accounts Committee

2019 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 30 - Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

6:30 pm

Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

I do not want to give any hostages to fortune. There is very serious work being done in the context of the asset register. Covid did not help. Again, part of this is a legacy problem, finding assets that may have moved from one section to another. Going forward, we have a system that requires assets to be registered on an electronic asset register as they are purchased. However, we still have that legacy problem. I would be misleading the committee if I said that the effort to track some of those down had not been impacted by Covid. So 2021 is still the target but I cannot say that when I am before the committee next year that some of this will not still be there.
