Kelly Block gave notice of the following motion:
Given recent reports that Global Affairs Canada spent $523,000 on furniture in a single day on March 31 of this year, and has spent approximately $25 million on furniture since 2022, and considering that this apparent end-of-year budget spending blitz occurs at a time when Canadians are facing financial hardship and accessing food banks in record numbers, the committee invite senior officials from Global Affairs Canada to a meeting to explain this spending.
At 1:11 p.m., the committee adjourned to the call of the Chair.
