Perfect. I believe I raised this question directly with the chair in one of our last meetings.
I believe the committee transcripts will indicate that the Conservatives consented to an arrangement that if the chair were to have to vacate for any reason—I distinctly recall the chair giving notice to the committee that he had other business at 5:30 p.m. and he might have to vacate the chair—there would be guarantees that the mixture amongst parties and votes on the committee would not change.
Are we to believe now that there is a deception afoot—a very deliberate deception—that the words of the chair were not valid back then? I would like to have the transcript read back to me, if I could, on exactly what the chair said.
