Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. I have another motion to move, and the clerk has this one as well.
The motion is as follows:
That the committee report to the House its view that the government should not have purchased a 9 million dollar luxury condo on Billionaire's Row in New York, especially in light of the fact that they have not secured a buyer for the previous residence; and that the committee call on the government to begin the process of looking for more economical and less opulent alternatives for the Consul General.
I think that's a fairly straightforward motion that expresses our conclusions as Conservatives about the government's decision to purchase this $9-million luxury condo. My hope is that a majority of the committee will agree with this motion and that this committee will take that position as well. I don't think it requires more explanation. In a way, I think the explanation has been the meetings that have taken place. However, I'll read the motion one more time. I know it's going to be distributed, but I want to make sure members have it.
I move:
That the committee report to the House its view that the government should not have purchased a 9 million dollar luxury condo on Billionaire's Row in New York, especially in light of the fact that they have not secured a buyer for the previous residence; and that the committee call on the government to begin the process of looking for more economical and less opulent alternatives for the Consul General.
Thank you very much.
