Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I will just follow up again on both my colleagues' great remarks, which I thank them very much for, on this subamendment.
I actually have to say that I was probably one of the more shocked people when Ms. Chi moved to shut off the cameras when we had just simply started an idea and thought process, a discussion around getting the Auditor General to analyze where the $300 million went. The part that really bothers me as a member of Parliament representing taxpayers is that, in the meeting before that, this whole committee was very frustrated with those three individuals who came in, especially with Michael Green, the CEO. Even the chair got into it. They would not answer the questions. Mr. Green wouldn't even admit how much his salary was—how much he was getting paid. It turns out that it was $900,000. The CEO of a non-profit organization paid by the Liberal government is being paid $900,000, with a maximum benefit bonus—because he did such a great job, according to why he would get a maximum bonus—of $215,000. Can you imagine that?
We're all sitting around here, and we have to debate whether we're going to talk about this in public. Come on, you guys. This is a pretty easy discussion to have. We can all remove ourselves from the situation. It was bad. Someone got away really rich with a lot of money; $300 million was blown out of here. You guys don't want to talk about it. For some unknown reason, there are a bunch of barriers to that information.
As Ms. Konanz and Mr. Bailey have remarked, people are mad. They're more frustrated with the veil that came down when the cameras got shut off. Also, 30 years.... How is that democracy? Why are Liberal MPs supporting this? Honestly, I don't understand that.
You can kind of comment, read your phones and do whatever you want, but I just don't know why you wouldn't get on with the conversation and let them clear the air. Maybe there's nothing wrong here. However, sure enough, where there's smoke, there's fire. You know how that works.
With that, I thank you, Mr. Chair, for my time.
