It may have been mentioned in a press release or some other document I read, but I do not see it on this page of the report. One thing I have learned from this case is that this committee is only as good as the questions we ask and our attendance rate. However, one would expect candour from a body that comes before us to give us information. That should not be dependent on our questions. Given the price and the importance of the printing, it should have been explained to us that problems had arisen, what those problems were and that the printer was in storage. That would have fostered trust and accountability. Mistakes are made on occasion, but it is how we deal with them that gives me the greatest cause for grief week after week in this committee.
