Notwithstanding your personal feelings about the chair, he did ask, and the Hansard will show that. In fact, he left it to me to see if we could come to a resolution, which is exactly what I was attempting to do. This is easy stuff, folks. It's not controversial. A member of the committee has asked for a document that exists. The person who has the document said, “We'll gladly give it to you”. The Auditor General expects it's the same as the other document. Where's the problem? Just circulate the 2020 document, and I think we're good, please and thank you.

Pardon me, Mr. Cannan?
