Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Seeing that I have to leave, my colleague has come to replace me.
When I was questioning Mr. Ferguson in the first hour, he said I should ask others that question. So I would look to this committee to indeed allow that opportunity, of me and others, to ask those questions.
I would expect, in part of your planning phase, that indeed you will have additional witnesses. You have a list before you. As I understand from my colleagues, no motion will be put. I don't intend to do that and uphold, even though I wasn't part of it, that agreement. But I would wholly expect and anticipate that this committee will be scheduling additional time to talk to those witnesses.
Mr. Ferguson, under questioning, referred me back to Mr. Fonberg to ask that specific question. Clearly, he's not here. Obviously I need those individuals here to ask that question, as directed by the Auditor General.
I hope the committee will take that under advisement. I thank them for their indulgence, and I thank them for being with us today. It's always a pleasure to be with you, ladies and gentlemen.
Now I take my adieu. My colleague will return to fill in for me. Thank you, all.
