Mr. Speaker, I think that my colleagues did mention several times during this debate that the special committee would be a committee with accrued powers.
As the Auditor General himself keeps telling the government year after year: "I do not have access to all the information". This is something the government has to understand. This is something the Auditor General himself is saying. In his report,
he did say that the use of government aircraft cost us $50 million, including $25 million to transport ministers, but he also said that he did not have the tools to examine these expenditures. He had the same problems with the information about the expenditures of the Royal Canadian Mountain Police versus transfers to the provinces.
So, more information, that is what we want the committee to have in order to consider the expenditures item by item. Give your committee all the information available about the expenditures.
