Mr. Speaker, I will try to keep this simple. Imagine for a moment that an emergency contract is awarded to repair the roof of an official residence, the Farm, because it is leaking. The contractor who is hired says that the repair will cost $20,000. The contractor begins the work and sends an initial bill for $500,000 without any explanation. Would anyone pay the bill without asking any questions, even though the roof is still leaking? That is what happened with the Prime Minister's ArriveCAN app. The Auditor General and the ombudsman both saw it, but no one in the government saw it? That is hard to believe. Will the government agree to our request for an investigation and let the RCMP do its job?
