Thank you so much.
I also agree with Mr. Poilievre when he says that my colleague Mr. Fraser is extraordinarily capable. In spite of his great capacity, I do think it is fair for us to make sure that we understand the motion to ensure that we have a chance to read the references relayed in the motion to be crystal clear because no one wants to delay this any further.
The last thing I'll mention, again, is that it's important to remind the committee that we have spent almost two months of testimony relaying why there wasn't a WE scandal and why there wasn't a cover-up. If we go through all of the testimony of July and the beginning of August, you will see that this has been very clearly articulated through the numerous witnesses who have come before this committee.
I also want to relay that there's no conspiracy around the economy or a fiscal position. Indeed, our government House leader, I believe, has proposed a motion to create a special committee to oversee investments related to COVID-19. For a while we were desperate to try to ensure that we continued to provide maximum accountability and transparency to the Canadian public during this unprecedented time. We're at a time when we all absolutely agree that we are spending a lot of money very quickly. We're trying to find ways, in addition to this finance committee, to ensure that we have an additional committee to oversee the investments so we continue to be transparent and accountable for every single dollar of taxpayer's money that we spend during this unprecedented time in our history.
Those are my remarks for now, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for allowing me to say a few words.
