Madam Speaker, it drives home the point that I made in my speech. If I were sitting in the chairs of the individuals from the government side, I would be the first one to be calling for a performance audit on the moneys applied to these foundations and not being used appropriately. I would want another pair of eyes making sure that the money was being used appropriately.
If the individual members from the government side vote no, as the parliamentary secretary did at health committee yesterday, the suspicion falls back on them. Why would they vote no? Why would they not want accountability? Why would they not want the performance measures so that whatever is there can be improved? This is money that would be very well spent on the Auditor General.
A few hours from now when we stand in the House to vote on this motion, I and all Canadians will find it very interesting to see if the government will do the right thing or whether it will hide behind the curtain and not do what needs to be done for transparency, accountability and regaining the trust of the Canadian people.
