If I may, Mr. Chair, I said in my opening remarks that I was apprehensive about the motion. For example, at the end of the motion, it says that “the PBO will work with Canadian Institutes”, which is fine, but “and other sources to obtain”, and the PBO's report “will not rely on analysis prepared by or for a third party”.
We need some discretion here, and that's exactly why you're touching on that point. What do you mean by that statement in the motion? I would like to clarify that because, as Mostafa said, we need to review the literature. If eventually we do a costing for this committee, we will have to review the literature, including those studies, and seek to assess whether or not we can evaluate the value of those studies.
