I'm just going to stop you. Every time you say something is disingenuous, you are impugning the chair. That is fine. You're not crossing the line. My job is to oversee the government. This is an opposition-run committee. I will call a meeting when I think it is worthwhile. If you don't like it, you can take action. To suggest that I'm being disingenuous by calling a meeting is out of bounds.
Mr. Genuis, like all members, is entitled to bring forward any motion he likes that is relevant on the day of the meeting. He has done so. If you're implying that we're in cahoots, you are wrong. I called this meeting on the information that I received from Mr. McCauley regarding the thousands of pages of documents.
Referring back, you are right. The Auditor General said the exact same thing at that October 12 meeting, and guess what? This committee found out something that we did not previously know—that information had been withheld from the OAG by the department about a police investigation. That was relevant. Number two, the OAG actually delayed the release of the report so they could go back to review the documents.
This committee is doing its job by overseeing the government. It will continue to do so. If you're going to keep calling my actions disingenuous for doing my job, I'm going to find you out of line.
It's back to you, Ms. Khalid. You're welcome to address the motion or my behaviour, but do so directly, without impugning my motives.
Thank you.
