The Liberal government does not want its incompetence brought to light by the Auditor General. This has resulted in the cancellation of critical audits, including on Arctic sovereignty and cybersecurity. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5956617\" data-originallang=\"en\">Will the Liberal government show that it actually cares about being accountable to Canadians and fully fund the Auditor General? </p>",
