Thank you, Madam Chair. There are far too many buttons you have to press to speak in French and then listen in English afterwards.
I would just like to say that it has been a long time since we last met with the Auditor General and the Comptroller General of Canada. Immediately following my comment, I'm going to move a motion to invite the Auditor General to appear next week to report on the status of reports, deadlines and what has happened since her appointment in June. It is important that we receive her promptly so that we can plan for all of our future work.
I support Mr. Green's motion to have an orientation session where we would have past chairs of the committee and people from the foundation. However, we should not spend our next six meetings doing training; we need to limit ourselves. It is also our responsibility to seek training to serve on this committee.
So I would keep the first draft of Mr. Green's motion, which is to invite past chairs of the committee and the Canadian Audit and Accountability Foundation to provide training.
As for the Auditor General and the Comptroller General, we have a lot of questions for them. I would exclude them from the motion, if Mr. Green agrees, but then I would bring forward another motion to have the new Auditor General come here.
