Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Ms. O'Gorman rightfully stated today that CBSA personnel work very hard on the front lines. We know them when we cross the borders. We know that they do everything they can to keep Canadians safe and protect this country.
Today, we are talking about an issue that is tarnishing each and every one of those workers, that is tarnishing the department, that is disappointing Canadians, because seeing this report from the Auditor General, I personally am utterly disappointed. It is mind-blowing what has happened here. At a time especially when Canadians are grappling with the high cost of living and we are facing unprecedented inflation, the AG has found “Glaring disregard for basic management and contracting practices” with respect to ArriveCAN, this $59.5-million project. Even the AG has indicated she is unclear about whether that is the true and accurate number.
Ms. O'Gorman, things have been said today about your role. You have indicated that you were not your predecessor. What would you like to say to this committee and to the Canadians who are watching in terms of what next steps you're going to take to make sure that there is accountability, that this will be properly investigated, and that we will have answers to the questions that have been put forward today? What do you plan to do next?
