Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to Mr. Perkins for this important motion. I, of course, support this motion. It's important that we ask and exhaust as many of the questions relevant to this very important audit as we can.
However, Mr. Chair, I have a point of recommendation, perhaps, for Mr. Perkins, the mover of the motion.
Today, we heard incredible testimony from two witnesses who largely failed to accept the Auditor General's report. It is incumbent upon me to suggest that the Auditor General be allowed to reply to what I think are instances of an attempt to dissuade the public or discredit the Auditor General and her work by overly stating its broadness or non-application of evidence. I'm not sure if we can include in this motion the attendance of the Auditor General to clarify statements made by witnesses who have largely obfuscated, I think, the public record on the importance of her findings.
Mr. Chair, would it be okay for Mr. Perkins to amend this to include the Auditor General?
