Public Accounts committee  I'll just repeat the exact motion in English now with the proposed amendment: That the committee calls on the Canada Revenue Agency to investigate the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation and that the committee believes it is in the public interest to prioritize this investigation. Is there discussion around this? First I'll go to Mr. Desjarlais, and then I'll go to Mr.

Public Accounts committee  However, before I do that, I want to highlight a letter, which I think you've all received now, from the Auditor General this morning in response to both Mr. Blanchet, leader of the Bloc Québécois, and a request from the Trudeau Foundation. The Auditor General, as you'll see in this letter, which is available in either official language, is not convinced that a review by her office is appropriate. You can read the letter.

Democratic Institutions  Will the Minister of National Revenue open an investigation into the use of front men at the Trudeau Foundation?

Democratic Institutions  On what date did the Prime Minister become aware that the Trudeau Foundation accepted a $200,000 gift from the Communist dictatorship in Beijing?

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, let us just be clear. The Trudeau Foundation is government-funded, and Liberal governments have in the past, and the Liberal government still has the ability to, appointed members to the foundation. It must be a coincidence that after Beijing's gift to the Trudeau Foundation, the Prime Minister met with the front men who signed the cheque on behalf of the Communist dictatorship and gave them a meeting where they had direct access to influence the Prime Minister.

Democratic Institutions  Rather than heeding the consensus, the Prime Minister is hiding behind his special rapporteur and good friend, David Johnston. However, Mr. Johnston is a former member of the Trudeau Foundation, which is itself in the midst of a Chinese interference scandal. That means that a former member of the Trudeau Foundation, which allegedly received money from China, is going to tell the government how to avoid Chinese influence.

Public Accounts committee  It's my understanding that the Auditor General's office has received a request from the Trudeau Foundation to audit it, so it agrees with the member in this case that it should be audited. I agree with that point from both perspectives. It's my goal—and, I think, our goal at this committee—to find a way to best account for what's happened here, and I think the person who's best able to do that is the Auditor General.

Government Appointments  This time, would it be asking too much to find a candidate to fill the Conflict of Interest Commissioner position who is not related to friends of the Trudeau Foundation?

Government Appointments  Could the government finally consider candidates other than close friends and donors from the extended Trudeau Foundation family?

Government Appointments  Will the Prime Minister commit to appoint someone who is not a friend, a family member or a member of the Trudeau foundation?

Ethics  While 24% of Canadians say they cannot afford a vacation this summer, the Prime Minister decided to jet off to Jamaica on a luxury vacation at a private villa, courtesy of a big-time Trudeau Foundation donor. Will the Prime Minister finally tell us how much he personally paid for this luxury vacation in Jamaica?

Government Appointments  The Prime Minister himself is embroiled in a scandal concerning his Christmas vacation with friends who make donations to the Trudeau Foundation. If the Liberals were to leave the interim Ethics Commissioner position empty much longer, questions would be raised. Will the Liberals provide the opposition with a list of candidates on Monday?

Carbon Pricing  He gets on a plane, goes to Jamaica and takes an $81,000 free vacation from a donor to the Trudeau Foundation. Moreover, we know that he will not pay that back because we know who he is. Maybe he will pay the carbon tax on the jet fuel. The jet fuel alone would add a carbon tax of $13,750.

Democratic Institutions  The Liberals are not in it for Canadians, and that is exactly why this morning, when we tried to call Alexandre Trudeau from the Trudeau Foundation to committee to talk about how he signed for a $200,000 cheque from Beijing as part of an influence operation to get access to the Prime Minister, which they did in fact get, they sent their Liberals in to block it.

Information & Ethics committee  Trudeau—is that it's widely reported that the gift of $140,000 to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, which is the subject of reporting and reflects that this was an influence operation by the Communist regime in Beijing.... We have since seen the foundation rightly return that donation to the donor, but the individual in question, Mr.
