Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I will also be brief.
First of all, I have to say that I disagree with my dear colleague, Mrs. Shanahan, a little bit. I do believe very strongly in the oversight by committees of the work of the Auditor General and everybody else. I believe that is the role of parliamentarians. I have no issue with that.
My issue is that I've looked at this report and at the summary of the report, and there's not one thing about privacy that's even included in the summary of the report. This is a report about financial controls and contracts, which is not the purview of the ethics committee. It is the purview of the public accounts committee or OGGO. I don't understand why this is being brought to the ethics committee. I've looked through the summary. Privacy is not even mentioned as one topic in the entire summary of the report. For me, that really is the issue.
It's already being looked at by the public accounts committee. If the focus is not privacy, then I really don't think it's the purview of the committee. Although I think it would be fascinating to look at the contracting policies employed by EDC, which are part of this motion, I just don't think it's the role of the ethics committee.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
