That the motion be amended by deleting all the words after the word “That” and substituting the following:

“the 26th report of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts, presented on Tuesday, February 14, 2023, be not now concurred in, but that it be recommitted to the Committee with instruction that: (a) it take note of the resignation of the CEO and Chair of Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) over allegations that funds were used improperly, namely that SDTC has been accused of giving grants to startups and accelerators with ties to their senior management, as well as making payments inconsistent with the requirements of their agreement with government; and (b) in keeping with the Auditor General`s observation that Treasury Board, which is responsible for the supervision of SDTC, has not provided oversight, as well as SDTC`s mission statement claiming it is “committed to full transparency”, the committee add to its recommendations an invitation to Annette Verschuren and the whistleblowers who exposed this scandal to appear before the committee.”.
