Mr. Chairman, I cannot stay for much longer because I have to go to the House of Commons.
If that's the case, then we need to know if the money is spent on auditing or not spent at all. I think that our committee could ask Treasury Board to come and answer that. If there is money, then it should be used for the purposes it was allocated for and not only for audits. As the auditor general said, we don't want to eliminate all programs because some of these programs are good, but there has to be monitoring. We cannot just do an audit and then lose the money because of that audit. I think that would be an even greater scandal than the sponsorship scandal.
