Procedure and House Affairs committee I'm asking you the question. You don't have any option. This is the thing. Perhaps the chair could remind the witnesses that in this Westminster Parliament you do not have the right to remain silent. The offsetting right is that what you say can't be used against you. You have to answer the question.

Procedure and House Affairs committee I have another question.
March 18th, 2011Committee meeting
Pat MartinNDP

Why didn't you just not sign it, if you were trying to cancel the funding to Kairos? Surely, that document for funding required your signature. You could have avoided all of this controversy by letting it die, letting it gather dust, and never dealing with the damn thing.
