Thank you so much, Mr. Genuis.
First of all, I want to clarify something. Last week at one point, it was advised by the clerk to do things by unanimous consent if we can. At that time, two motions were presented to us. We used unanimous consent at that time to amend the original.
I was going to use the same procedure of unanimous consent to amend the original motion to remove the minister's name and have the amendment read the exact same way.
It would be, “That the committee report to the House”—then reject the portion after “reject” and everything after that to the word “the” and then keep “the independence of the Auditor General and that the committee affirms its support for the Auditor General and the independence of the office.”
We would be removing the noun, “the minister”. It would be any reference to the minister.
