Thank you, Chair.
I found it rather startling to hear Mr. Opitz say that in relation to the fact that a member brought a question of privilege, really what was said about the chair and the committee was that the member is worried about himself looking good in the media. That's a very far stretch.
For someone to raise the question, to bring it to the committee as to whether or not there has been a question of privilege, that's an absolute right of members of the House. It's not about him looking good. It's about whether or not the committee or the committee chair is receiving the respect they deserve. Whether you agree with the question of privilege or not is a totally different matter. To then go on to suggest that this legislation that's being delayed is going to ensure that anybody who does violence to a member of the Canadian Forces is going to lose their citizenship, that's outrageous. It's not even true. That's not part of any bill that's before the House.
