In fact, I want to say that this was a joint effort. It was done after my meeting yesterday with Mr. Kramp and the discussions we had with Mr. Lee. We emphasized the fact that the Parliamentary Budget Officer could do it within the existing resources. I amended the motion so that there would be no further requests for supplementary budgets, etc. I brought this amendment to satisfy my colleagues around the table.
Mr. Kramp also mentioned restricting the study to targeted departments. In an arbitrary way, I kept the departments that my colleagues and myself had reviewed during the session. Fifteen departments appeared before the committee. The Auditor General had identified within these departments some problems relative to information technology.
In this respect, I limited my work to these departments, simply so that everyone could have a point of reference, so that the department could be viewed in its entirety. This is why the motion was amended. This was, in fact, discussed previously.
