Thank you, Chair.
I agree with my colleagues on this side that the minister has already been invited to the government operations committee on the same issue, so I don't feel that there's really a need to repeat the invitation here. That would just tie up more time and more resources.
This public accounts committee has so many outstanding reports to review. In fact we have barely moved on the completion of the reports we were looking at last year. We have certainly had many, many meetings on ArriveCAN, and now the Auditor General is about to table new reports, but we haven't even completed the work we set out to do last year.
I feel it's also been clear that the part about referring the report to the House is a political tactic by the Conservatives to clog up the House, to waste time and resources, and to stop us from passing legislation that supports Canadians, such as that on pharmacare. I really don't think it's right to take all this time away, so I'd like to propose an amendment to remove the part about reporting it to the House.
Thank you.
