I understand my colleagues' hesitation in moving such a motion. I invite them again to think about how many hours we want to spend on this, given that they've been talking about Sustainable Development Technology Canada in the House of Commons for two months. They don't want us to bring forward legislation. They don't want us to introduce bills to support Canadians and Quebeckers. I understand that, and I'm not accusing the Bloc Québécois or the New Democratic Party.
The Conservative Party has an obsessive need to filibuster everywhere, in the House and here in committee, by moving motions that don't respect the will of the committee to insist on exposing the truth.
We held 16 meetings and heard from 36 witnesses here in committee. I know that the Auditor General will be presenting another report next week, which is part of the normal procedure. I think the committee will be sitting, and there will be a briefing from the Auditor General at that time.
It's important that we move on as a committee. I'm reaching out to the opposition parties. We're not necessarily opposed to the possibility of inviting Minister Champagne to come and testify here.
At the last meeting, Zoë Kolbuc appeared before the committee.
Mr. Chair, you said that one witness, Leah Lawrence, didn't have the opportunity to come and testify because she's conducting certain studies.
I don't know what power our committee has in this regard, but, at this point, I believe we're able to agree on future testimony, knowing full well that other Auditor General's reports will soon be tabled in the House that our committee will have to consider.
I therefore move a motion to adjourn the debate.
