Promised in the House, missing on paper: a $2.1-billion commitment, 44 contracts, three disclosures

The pledge was made at the podium on a Tuesday. By Friday it had a program entry in the Gazette. Then the money moved — and the paper trail thinned to three disclosures spread across forty-four contract entries.

We traced the commitment from Question Period through the Canada Gazette, the proactive-disclosure registry and committee evidence. Where the record agrees with the podium, we say so. Where it goes quiet, we show you the exact entry where the silence begins.

Every document in the chain is linked below — open them yourself. This is a sample case file demonstrating the format: statement, entry, disclosure, gap. When live ingest is wired, this page will regenerate from the day's actual filings.
