Elizabeth May: Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order.
[GpVE3sEVAwE]
I would like to request the unanimous consent of the House for the following motion. I move that this House acknowledge that the value of Canada’s democratic institution, as the life of this country, cannot be reduced to value for tax dollars or return on investment; recognize that Canadians expect responsibility, transparency, and accountability from their elected representatives; and invite the Auditor General to conduct a comprehensive audit of the House of Commons’ expenses, including members of Parliament, in addition to the Office of the Prime Minister, and ministers of cabinet.
I would hope to have unanimous consent so that the House would be treated equally with the Senate.
The Speaker: I think the members have already expressed it, but I will try anyway.
Does the hon. member have the unanimous consent of the House to propose this motion?
Some hon. members: No.
