Canada’s auditor general found serious problems with the military’s aging living quarters, including deteriorating exterior walls, toilets that don't flush and a lack of safe drinking water.

There are 227 high-priority repairs needed across 32 buildings, according to Karen Hogan’s latest report released Tuesday. But out of a sample audited, only five per cent of repairs had been completed.

The auditor general’s team found the average age of the buildings housing military members is 60 years old, and most required at least one high-priority repair.

Her audit found there were 3,706 military members on a waitlist for residential housing units at bases this spring, but only 205 units available.
