Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to committee members. This is a discussion we have been trying to have since last week. I want to thank Mr. Genuis for tabling the original motion to allow us to begin this important discussion.
It's no secret that what we're seeing and what's happening with the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, given that it's a foundation supported by public funds.... Given the events that have transpired with the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, it is important and in the public interest to have an investigation into its finances and donations, and in particular into any possible misdealings the organization may have had.
It is important that the Canada Revenue Agency do this work, because it is, of course, an agency that has not only the capacity and tools but also a mandate to review aspects of this work that maybe the committee, in some aspects, wouldn't be able to do. I believe, given the amendment that was just noted by my colleague from the Bloc Québécois, it is important to make more narrow the role of the CRA in this work.
I accept the amendment, given the letter from the leader of the Bloc Québécois.
