Mr. Chairman, the reason for the motion is really quite simple. It's not about a letter-writing campaign by her--or by any other organization, for that matter. It's due to the simple fact that the email indicates that the company has been approached by government, MPs, and others to undertake a propaganda game. That is worrisome.
In fact, at least one of the recipients of the email is on the minister's task force, as is a representative of an organization on the task force. The question that really needs to be asked is whether this influence is from government itself.
There's a growing controversy around this issue. We have the task force, which, as members know, we're very strenuously concerned about. Increasingly there are connections back to the board of directors of Agricore, and there are connections with this Charlton Communications.
To even think that the government itself might be operating a propaganda campaign is worrisome. We do need to hear from this lady to find out if in fact that is correct.
