I think it's a very interesting motion. It's something I could get behind, but I have some issues.
One concern I have is about the independence of the Auditor General. We cannot be seen to be directing her to do anything. I have no problem making a request of her to take action. I would move to amend this motion in a paragraph that says, “and the committee further write to the Auditor General to undertake”. I think it would be clearer if we change that “undertake” to “request”.
Second, at the end, it says, “and the committee report this request to the House”. I would move to drop that line .
