Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I just wanted to remind our colleagues that the Liberals will be voting no on this motion. The reason is that this is most likely an issue that is going to be discussed at the public accounts committee as well. I don't have that on good authority, but my experience tells me that it will likely be the public accounts committee that will be inviting the Auditor General to its committee.
We spent quite a bit of time in our previous meetings putting together a calendar that would have us start working on the next study, which is very important, and that is the study that was put forth by our good colleague Madame Gill. I'm just asking the committee to be mindful of the calendar and of the important work we're doing as a committee to make sure that we are not adding extra dates prolonging this committee's studies, which are so important.
I'm appealing to committee members to think about this. Maybe this is something we can allow the other committee to look at. Any member at this committee who wishes to question the Auditor General—and we all know the procedures—can always request to be a substitute on that committee when the Auditor General appears, and they can ask questions at that committee at that time. We could then proceed with the calendar, which we all so vigorously discussed in previous committee meetings and came to an agreement on, and continue the studies that we agreed to.
