Thank you, Madam Chair.
With your approval, I'd like to ask my honourable colleague whether he is prepared to accept amendments that would allow us to investigate whether there really is a material problem. Does the Auditor General have the impression that it prevented her from sharing relevant information with members of this committee and from doing her work to evaluate how effectively the programs have been implemented, since that is her role? If he is so disposed, then we can certainly, with the time remaining to us, find a way of bridging the gap and continuing to do our work in the collaborative manner that has been the hallmark of your stewardship for these past six months.
I know that it's rather unusual, Madam Chair, but I'd like to know whether Mr. Berthold is prepared to do that. If so, then there's certainly a way to reach agreement and unanimity around this table.
