Mr. Chair, thank you.
My friend and colleague Monsieur Ste-Marie will be pleasantly surprised that I'm completely behind his support for the Montreal Canadiens; however, he'll not be shocked to find that I take a different view of his proposed amendment.
I'm curious. My understanding is that some serious work has been done with the transition office on fraud prevention, as well as on co-operation not only in the jurisdiction of Quebec but also with B.C., Alberta and Ontario. I'm curious to know whether officials can offer commentary as to the impact of the proposed investment in reducing the maximum financing to the office from the government to $1. What impact would that have on a day-to-day basis for the work that the office is actually doing?
