Thanks Mr. Chair.
On the topic of reporting to the House, I think the best time to have a fulsome debate in the House on this topic is after we've received the report from the audit that we're requesting.
Reporting the motion to the House doesn't seem to me to be necessary. What we really want to get out of this is for the Auditor General to conduct an audit into the items that are listed in the motion. Given the seriousness of the allegations and the information that's been uncovered to date, I would hope that the Auditor General would take that request very seriously.
I certainly support the content of the motion and the direction that this is heading in. However, I don't think having a debate in the House prior to the completion of the audit is well considered or necessary at this point.
