Madam Speaker, there was a technical problem and I did not hear the first part of the member's question, but in principle we are all Canadians and we are all contributing to these foundations. Therefore, we deserve to know if these foundations are providing the resources and services that are necessary for proper and effective health care in Canada.
The Liberal government seems to continuously waste Canadian taxpayers' money on all sorts of things and that is just where the Auditor General has the power to audit. I think most reasonable people would see the fact that the Liberal government seems to be restricting the Auditor General's ability to audit the foundations as a suggestion that the Liberal government has a lot to hide and that there may be more funny business to be found. That seems to be the only reason the government would take the position that it has, as recently as last night at the health committee.
I hope that for all our friends, from Quebec to B.C. and all the points in between and in Atlantic Canada see that these books are indeed audited for the greater good.
