Mr. Chairman, let me continue. I have a second point. This is serious and I'm speaking on behalf of our members. We have a clear guideline at this committee that we do not call ministers before us. If we have a problem, then we call the departmental officials.
I want to make a third important point, namely that there is no detail here. He has just said that untendered contracts for $24,900 were offered to Conservative Party supporters. How many? To whom? When? I have no detail. If he had a list of a hundred long, I could say maybe there was something. But there's no information.
How can we support this motion? It's just a witch hunt by the Liberal Party based on an apology by the minister in the House and a commitment not to do it again. Here we have a motion at the public accounts committee. We can't support this.
