In your remarks that were submitted to us, on page three it says: Since the tabling of Bill C-2, Minister Baird has heard me out about my concerns. I am grateful to him and the government for accepting my criticisms of Bill C-2 in the non-partisan spirit in which it was given.
Can you explain to me why you felt it was necessary to say that it was given in a non-partisan spirt? As an officer of Parliament, I would think that would be what was expected. Why was it necessary to put “non-partisan spirit”?
