Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would like to support the motion and the comments of my colleagues on the importance of continuing the meeting in public and of discussing this motion.
I think that everyone can agree that we are working on a committee that aims to ensure transparency, because the government must be accountable for the way it spends money. This speaks to the values of all members, all parties combined.
However, if we leafed through these reports, we could easily understand that it is important to continue the work, given the amounts of money invested. I'm thinking, for example, of chapter 3 on the restoration of the Parliament buildings. It is worth continuing to look into that. Enormous amounts of money have been invested in this. When that kind of money is at stake, Canadians have a right to know what the money is being used for.
We could very well continue this work in public.
