I suppose, Chair, one possible solution is to look at whether or not there's a precedent here. Has this committee ever looked at anything relating to the Governor General and spending under that by the Governor General, their office or anything along these lines? If there has been a time when this committee looked at that, then a precedent would be established, and looking at the motion of our colleague would be in order.
Again, the mandate letter is clear that this committee is tasked with the work of the Auditor General and engaging on the public accounts of Canada.
The public accounts of Canada are very specific. They don't refer to just the general public accounts in the abstract. We're talking about something very specific, and the reports of the Auditor General fit within that.
