Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I understand where Mr. Wrzesnewskyj is coming from, but we are an institution of accountability. We have a protocol of accounting officers. We had the Deputy Minister of Finance here. We had the Secretary of the Treasury Board here. We had the Minister of Finance here. They accepted full responsibility for the breaking of the rules. We had a clear commitment from the Minister of Finance that it's not going to happen again.
I think about the witnesses we've just had here. None of them were directly involved in the administration of the fees, but they accept responsibility.
I really don't know what Mr. Wrzesnewskyj would hope to achieve by virtue of this, but remember we're talking about a $122,000 contract. Three very senior people in the Government of Canada acknowledged responsibility. I don't think there is anything to be gained by bringing in the minister's staff to beat them over the head.
If we think of the time we spent on a $122,000 contract, we have multi-million and multi-billion-dollar issues that need to be addressed seriously, and I think we're far better to focus our efforts on that to benefit the taxpayers of Canada rather than going after a headline of something that maybe wouldn't even get a headline by virtue of the fact it's already been disposed of.
