Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The motion was originally introduced to us within the steering committee. There seemed to be good uptake for it at that point in time. I didn't hear any objections. I'm hoping we can adopt this particular motion, the work of the Auditor General and the previous reports. Because of the circumstance of the election and other things, we weren't able to get to a lot of business. This is very important business. I'm hoping we'll be able to adopt this motion.
I certainly hope, Mr. Chair, that as a public oversight committee, given that we've already had an initial review of this particular motion in an in camera session in the steering committee, we don't adopt any motion at any point in time today to move in camera. We're a very public body, and I hope we stay very open and visible to those who are following our actions and deliberations. Given the fact that as a public oversight body we have a very important role in the function of accountability within the parliamentary system, I'm hoping we stay on the public record for the rest of the afternoon at the very least.
