Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
This is the purpose of the government operations and estimates committee. Its purpose is to be studying the mains, reviewing them and then making a decision. That is our job, and we don't need a study to determine whether or not we believe that the estimates should be reduced. That's really the only thing we can do. We can't increase. We can keep the budget the same, or we can reduce it.
We've done the study. We're at the point of looking at recommendations. We already know what has been spent in an extravagant way. I'm just hoping that my motion gets passed by this committee, because our job is to hold departments accountable and this is one way we can do it.
