As I said, Mr. Chair, we have just seen a damning report delivered by the Auditor General here this last week, and we must uncover more. Even she did not have the answers for us today. Even she said we need to have more information in an effort to both solve the incompetence and further explore the cozy relationship between the Liberal government and McKinsey.
We need to get to the bottom of this. With that, I am putting forward and moving this motion today, which calls these witnesses, in an effort to do that.
Mr. Chair, thank you very much.
