Chair, very briefly, given the cost of living crisis Canadians are facing, we can't look past this. Amid the excitement of a pop star coming to Canada, we can't have members of the executive or their exempt staff receiving preferential treatment or pricing to attend those events when the focus of government should be on providing for Canadians. It's that simple. Food bank use is at a record high, with two million Canadians using food banks in a single month.
This motion isn't calling for the appearance of any witnesses. It's not calling for any meetings. What this is calling for is the production of documents. On the committee's return at the end of January, we can consider the information received from PavCo, the Prime Minister's Office and the Prime Minister concerning these tickets. It should be pretty straight up and down when we're talking about individuals who are subject to the Conflict of Interest Act, such as ministers, exempt staff and the Prime Minister.
Of course, it would be completely inappropriate if we were to discover that any of these individuals were using their positions or power to get preferential treatment, when the discharge of their authority should be, at this point, exclusively focused on helping Canadians who are struggling.
