I think the question here with what the government side has presented—they know it and we know it—is essentially what version of this story are we going to get and how much time we're going to have to discuss this extremely important issue for Canadians.
I find it peculiar that the Auditor General is not being invited first, for it is the Auditor General who sets the tone. Will we have a chance, for example, to bring back the deputy ministers to discuss things after we see the Auditor General? I think this is a very incomplete motion. The Auditor General has the details with regard to this issue and it will allow us to then pose more pointed questions and more detailed questions to the other witnesses.
So I would like to move an amendment to the motion that the Auditor General be the first witness heard by this committee followed by the other witnesses as proposed by the government side.
