First, I really want to take the time to thank the Auditor General and her entire team for their important work.
As I have already said, I have the greatest respect for the role of the Auditor General and the independence of her office.
I believe that having a different point of view does not amount to a lack of respect and ethics regarding the work done by the Auditor General. In fact, I met with her before her report was submitted and we discussed it. However, I do not retract what I said, Mr. Chair.
