I will begin reading the first motion again:
That the committee mandates the Chair to send a letter to the Auditor General of Canada strongly recommending she investigate the expenses and costs incurred by the Governor General of Canada, from public funds, in her capacity as Canada's representative at home and abroad since her appointment on July 6, 2021.
That is the first motion.
If I may, Mr. Chair, I will table the second one and then I will give my reasons for tabling these two motions.
Here is the second motion:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the committee undertakes a study of the expenditure of nearly $100,000 in public funds by the Governor General of Canada for catering services during an eight-day tour of the Middle East in March 2022; and that the committee invites the Governor General to appear before the committee for a period of two (2) hours on or before June 23, 2022.
