Just to conclude, Mr. Chair.... I wasn't finished with my remarks; that was a point of order.
Just to conclude, we recognized that. It's why we wanted the witnesses first. But as you see, the government members put this motion first to try to limit our debate on it, because as I said, it is manipulating the message to confuse the Canadian mind when in fact the full hearing called for a public inquiry.
The last couple of points I would make is that under subsection 106(4) of the Standing Orders, when four members of this committee asked for this hearing today, that set the timeframe. For whatever reason, the chair is missing. And now, the government members—I would imagine at the behest of the PMO—have managed to try to manipulate the message.
The bottom line for me is, what has the government to hide? What have they got to hide? Why do they not want a public inquiry into government responsibility on this issue? The full report is in the House of Commons. Maybe some day we'll get the opportunity to debate it there. We'll have to see the government's response to it.
So with those remarks, Mr. Chair, I strongly oppose the games the Conservative members are playing and the motion as proposed.
