Is there any other discussion?
Okay. Then the Chair would entertain a motion for the approval of the minutes as amended. It's moved by Madam Faille.
(Motion agreed to)
The next item of business, colleagues, before we go into the reports, is to deal with the motion of Mr. Christopherson. That motion has been circulated.
Before we even go to Mr. Christopherson, I just want to point out, especially for the newer members of the committee, perhaps, that we have no binding authority on the work of the Office of the Auditor General. All this motion will be is a request to her office.
They can take it into consideration. They can follow it or they may not want to follow it for their own reasons. That's all it is, a request, so don't consider it to be an order or a mandate to that office. I simply wanted to point that out.
What I'd like to do is perhaps give Mr. Christopherson up to two minutes, then entertain six or seven interventions--if people want to intervene--and then put the question.
Mr. Christopherson, for up to two minutes.
