Thank you, Chair. I'll just wrap up very briefly.
For the benefit of the tens of viewers who are tuning in, I want to take us back to what happened here today.
We had witnesses, including the Auditor General and the Department of Finance, here to testify on the damning Auditor General's report about the CEBA program and the fact that there were at least 17 instances of potential fraud that have been referred to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and that $3.5 billion of ineligible funding went out to those who were not eligible to receive the funding. Instead of dealing with the witnesses, the witnesses have now been excused so the Liberals could introduce a motion to give themselves a holiday from accountability.
I think we've made an amendment here that is eminently reasonable for members of this committee
I will leave my comments there. I know a few of my colleagues wish to offer their thoughts on it, but I will end my formal comments there, Mr. Chair.
