Mr. Speaker, we obviously read the Auditor General's report. We accept her recommendations. Perhaps the only part of the question on which I agree with my colleague opposite is that all those who are responsible for managing taxpayers' money must follow strict rules. In this case, the rules were not followed. We accept the recommendations so that we can ensure that this never happens again. We will always be responsible with taxpayers' money.

The Auditor General found that the Liberals wasted at least $60 million on a contract that our public service should have done. Canadians are struggling to put food on the table, and the out-of-touch Liberals are throwing taxpayers' money out the window. Why are the Liberals so obsessed with making rich consultants richer?

Mr. Speaker, we thank the NDP leader for his question. We share his concerns about the need to manage taxpayers' money wisely. The Auditor General identified circumstances that were entirely inappropriate. That is why the Canada Border Services Agency and the Department of Public Services and Procurement have taken the necessary steps to ensure that this type of situation never happens again. We will always remain focused on managing Canadians' money properly.
