Mr. Speaker, I have no doubt that all members of the public accounts committee will consider the hon. member's motion and they will vote on that motion in due course. However, that is up to the public accounts committee.
I go back to the fact that I find it somewhat strange that the official opposition does not think it is appropriate to provide an interim report to the Canadian public. The committee has heard well over 40 witnesses. I think it is not inappropriate at this point to take stock, prepare a preliminary report and decide how to move forward from there.
