Mr. Murphy said it more eloquently than I could, and I won't go over it, but I was very briefly going to say that if we are going to change the mandate, I agree with him, let's have a discussion.
As you saw today, I think our function can be to follow and do the work that needs to be done by the auditor. It worked properly today, in the way it should do. You saw members on this side being very aggressive towards the deputies. It's the way I think it should operate. If we get off on these political tangents, it will only hurt the committee. That's my first point.
On the second point, very quickly, it's my understanding that the Department of Canadian Heritage has an audit coming up that closes on November 8. I'm told that audits like this probably take until December 31. We could probably have an audit in our hands; I guess it's on the MERX. My suggestion would be that we wait for the audit. If we then find something in there, we can schedule meetings as a follow-up, as we did today, rather than going ad hoc, as we did today.
That would be my suggestion to this committee, for what it is worth, Mr. Chair.
