I will leave the more general comments because I've made them already. I think there are two important features to note. The Auditor General made some very valuable observations and recommendations which, of course, we've moved ahead to implement. I also want to acknowledge that he acknowledged the important progress that the government had made on this very important issue in terms of having systems and processes.
Certainly, I compare that with 2006, which was unsatisfactory following the Liberal government, to what was a great movement in strides.
It was interesting yesterday when my colleague, who is the Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the Treasury Board, was quite puzzled by this. He said the Auditor General was before public accounts, I believe it was May 2. Certainly that was the opportunity. I know on our side, if there are particular chapters, we ensure the person who has an interest in those particular chapters actually participates in those meetings.
The Auditor General has appeared before public accounts. They had a very robust discussion. That was a great opportunity for Mr. Rankin, if he had specific ideas or thoughts, to discuss at that time.
Again, given both my more general comments and the great clarity of the report the Auditor General put out, we will not support this motion.
