Madam Chair, I'd like to table my motion right away, please.
I'll read the notice of motion that you've received in both official languages:
That the Committee invite to appear in camera, as soon as possible, a senior official of the Privy Council Office, a senior official of the Office of the Auditor General and the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel of the House to explain and clarify the administrative procedures for invoking the concept of “Cabinet secrecy” respecting the data the Department of Finance shared with the Office of the Auditor General for her audit of the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy, which are not available to parliamentarians, even though the Auditor General is an officer of Parliament, not the government.
I trust that the members of the committee understand that this is simply a formality to deal with the impasse we encountered at our last meeting.
It's an exercise that was also conducted in 2018, and its intent is to improve our knowledge of internal procedures.
