Procedure and House Affairs committee  --to sign that document, to change the document.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  [Inaudible--Editor]...my questions as meaningless. My next question--

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I would appreciate very much if we could keep the answers roughly the length of the question.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  My next question--

Procedure and House Affairs committee  --to the minister, through you, Mr. Chairman, is whether it was her who specifically told Stephanie Machel, from her phone in the car, to insert the word “not”.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  No, no, answer the question I put to you, Minister.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  That's not the point, Mr. Chair.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Mr. Chairman, could I speak to that? That is not the point. I'm very deliberately trying to keep my questions very short and very succinct. Rather than answer the question I put to her, she wants to talk about some other subject. With all due respect, she's the witness here, and she does not have the right to remain silent.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  --she has to answer it.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Fair enough.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Through you, Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask the minister if she specifically told Stephanie Machel to insert the word “not” from her phone in her car when she was driving home to her riding that day. Yes or no.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Good enough.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Please.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Well, Minister, I don't know if I can express how frustrated we are that after three months of grilling you, after three months of questions in question period and appearances before parliamentary committee, now, at the eleventh hour, with a gun to your head, one hour away from being one of the few people in history to be found in contempt of Parliament, we finally find out who this phantom flunky is who signed the document.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  No, no. When? Date? Date?
