Thank you, Mr. Bittle.
Madam Chair, we have an observation with respect to paragraph 86(2)(c.1). From our perspective, this is information that the auditor could already ask for or that could be included in the report. MP Julian's amendment, however, would make it obligatory for the auditor to include this information, but the government's position is that agreements signed in the context of exemption are a key element of understanding the impact on the framework.
With respect to paragraph 86(2)(c), the only thing the committee may wish to consider is, again, the relationship with any confidential information that may be provided in that context. Again, there may be implications with respect to how that information should be treated and protected.
Thank you.
