Thank you, Chair.
I should use my time to rail at our witnesses, and you can get back to us later. No, I won't do that.
I have to express my extreme disappointment with the government. I understand what they're trying to do here, which is, as we've seen in the past from the Liberals, using guillotine motions to stop us from studying the various scandals this government has been involved in.
This issue we have before us today, the so-called late meeting for the public accounts, is solely on the government. This is, from what I have seen, the latest we have had a tabling of the public accounts in history. I advise and welcome anyone to send me an email or text if I am wrong. I had the library of Canada look into this, and we have had December tablings before but never this late. Also, it's on basically the final day of the House of Commons. There is a legal requirement to have that done by December 31, but the House isn't sitting then. If the public accounts hadn't been tabled yesterday, they would have been tabled in the House at the end of January. As it is, I think it's 261 days after year-end.
For the three or four people watching at home—
