Auditor General Karen Hogan's office tabled nine reports in the House of Commons on Thursday, October 29, 2026, assessing federal agencies' performance on issues including climate action, anti-money laundering, and public health. One report found that the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre (FINTRAC) took an average of about four months to deliver financial intelligence to law enforcement, with half the information arriving too late to support investigations. The audit also revealed that Environment and Climate Change Canada stopped work in November 2024 on implementing a ban on thermal coal exports, a commitment made in 2021 to take effect by 2030, without informing the public.
Another report showed the Canadian Dental Plan went $1.1 billion over budget in its early years, and Health Canada has been unable to determine whether the program improved oral health. The audit of the Canada Border Services Agency found its Assessment and Revenue Management system is inefficient, requiring 92,000 hours of employee time annually to manage workarounds.
