Thank you very much.
I want to begin by taking a moment to correct an earlier statement. The honourable member representing Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie never said that the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics had misused public funds; on the contrary. My colleague actually tried to show accounting irregularities in the figures related to program expenditures and the Department of Industry's operating expenditures. He did point out that a number of expenditures had been recorded in the Perimeter Institute's budget line, but that the organization never received that money.
That reveals disturbing deficiencies in terms of departmental and federal transparency when it comes to the accounting processes used. I must point out that those processes make it possible to fully inform parliamentarians about government expenditures, so that they may do their job properly.
In addition, I would be pleased to submit a document, in both official languages, to exemplify what my colleague wanted to show. I am certain that my committee colleagues share his concerns when it comes to information quality and the lack of transparency in government.
That said, I would like to submit the document in question, in both official languages.
