Mr. Chair, before the last Parliament ended, we were studying a matter that the committee considered very important, the federal government's procurement process. If I recall correctly, we began the study partly as a result of the tabling of a report from the Auditor General of Canada. But it was also in the government's plans and priorities to be able to get a handle on and tighten up the federal government's procurement process.
I even submitted a motion about it to the clerk last week, though it may not have been in order at the time. But I know that he already has a motion in his hands. In it, I proposed that, after our committee had passed the supplementary estimates and done what it needs to do at the beginning, of course, we should continue our study of the federal government's procurement process as a matter of priority.
Secondly, I would very much like you to allow us to submit motions to our clerk dealing with other matters that we would like the committee to address.
