Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have only been on this committee for just under two years, unlike Mr. Kramp, who has many more years on this committee than I do. I think Madame Faille also may have many more years than I do.
In the short period of time that I've been on this committee, we have received motion requests such as this on several occasions. The previous chair has ruled that although there may be substance to the requests, and there is merit, they're simply in the wrong place.
As Mr. Kramp said, the purpose of this committee is to review reports of the Auditor General. When it comes to government operations, that clearly sits in the committee that's responsible for government operations. In this specific case, not only does this belong in government operations, it's in government operations; already this week it was requested in the government operations committee to have a motion very similar to this. So I think there's precedent set by your predecessor, Mr. Chair, that requests like this, although they may have merit, don't belong at the public accounts committee.
