This is a very critical thing. We all know about the McKinsey situation with this government, which has given tens of millions of dollars, maybe $100 million or more. We heard in question period today that the Prime Minister refused to answer that question of how much was given.
We know there has been a significantly large contract given out to the IRCC department. That's specifically what we are after here, to look into those contracts and be able to have that information.
It's critical that we be able to do that here and that we get this information. That's the reason I want this motion to be adopted by our committee.
