I would happy to. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As the members of the committee are aware, we passed a motion at a prior meeting asking for this information from a different department. The response was insufficient. It basically was that we should try asking Public Works and Government Services. That is what we are doing now.
It is our very strongly held view that in our role as parliamentarians providing financial oversight of the government and our duty to keep the government to account, this information is extremely important. It is also extremely important from a timeframe perspective, because of the impending end of the parliamentary session.
