Madam Speaker, I have a question. I agree that there has to be some kind of performance audit wherever and whenever the Auditor General wants to go, but does the member really believe that it is absolutely necessary over and above looking at giving her the chance to follow the money and do performance audits?
Does the member really believe that she should be the external auditor for each and every foundation, to do the audit each and every year, something she does not even do with departments in the Government of Canada? Does he not think that these foundations can have the choice of picking their auditors for their yearly audits?
Meanwhile, yes, we should change the rules to allow performance audits by the Auditor General, for her to do what she does for the Government of Canada everywhere. To me, that makes a lot more sense. I would certainly be prepared to support the member's motion if he were to remove the last part which says that the Auditor General has to do everybody's audit every year.
