Mr. Chair, I appreciate that you've taken the opportunity to give everybody a chance to speak on this matter, because I think that's very important.
At this time, because the government is keen to get moving on this subject, and because I put forward a motion on behalf of the government already, what I would like to do now is to reintroduce the motion that I put before the committee over two weeks ago. That motion was:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Standing Committee on Public Accounts begin a study of the Spring 2012 Report of the Auditor General, beginning with Chapter 2 (Replacing Canada’s Fighter Jets), and that the Committee hold a planning session at the meeting of April 24, 2012, to determine the witness list and agenda for the study, and that when the study is completed the Committee report its finding to the House of Commons.
Mr. Chair, what I would like to do at this time is to put this motion forward for debate and approval by this committee, so that we can get moving on this subject.
