Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to begin by stating that we have been studying this ArriveCAN issue now at committee for five months, and everybody around the table is committed to getting to the bottom of this important issue. You'll have to correct me if maybe it was longer than five months we've been studying this issue because it is important, and because Canadians expect us to do this work.
We've had requests for I believe millions of pages of documents related to ArriveCAN and other studies that we've had before this committee and we've agreed to those. Our side has agreed to those. We've had testimony from a wide range of witnesses here, which we welcome. Obviously we had most recently the testimony of the Auditor General, Ms. Hogan. We thanked her for her important work and welcomed those important recommendations that shed light on this issue of the ArriveCAN app.
We had the procurement ombudsman, Mr. Jeglic, as well here before this committee and we heard his important testimony and the results of his important study into this issue. And, of course, we had Mr. Lafleur, who is the CBSA integrity director. I guess that's what you call that position, executive director of professional integrity, testifying as well in terms of the internal CBSA investigation that's taking place. We welcomed that testimony. We absolutely support that testimony, and we took those recommendations to heart because they are important. They talk about a process that is in place that safeguards the integrity of the procurement process, but also safeguards the trust of Canadians in this process. It was really important to hear from all of those individuals.
Every step of the way we, the members of Parliament around this table, have supported every witness, every appearance, every production of documents required. It's important to highlight that every member of Parliament is united around this committee table to get to the bottom of this issue. I do take issue with some of the comments that are made by especially by some of the new members of committee, and some of the existing members of committee, who falsely talk about the lack of spirit of collaboration and co-operation around this table. The facts speak to the absolute opposite, which is that we have been working together.
