I have a brief comment, Mr. Chair, so those watching know what we're doing here.
It's what's called a “production of documents motion” to produce documents that were referenced numerous times in our study of SDTC, the green slush fund. That reference was to something called a “contribution agreement”. Contribution agreements are referenced quite extensively in the Auditor General's report concerning the expenditure, in this instance, of $58 million that was outside, as the Auditor General put it, of the contribution agreements. What those agreements are.... They're agreements between the industry department and SDTC on what they could spend taxpayer money on—the parameters of it. They're not public documents, so it's pretty hard to make a judgment on what's been going on.
We've also heard testimony in another committee—from a whistle-blower—that the government has amended those contribution agreements since they put a new governance board in place. Those changes should be made public, in my view—not only the original agreements but also the changes themselves, so we can see what new governance rules and restrictions the Liberals have put in place for the expenditure of the $1 billion or so that the current foundation...because it hasn't been transferred yet to the NRC. What does it have in place for spending that money?
