Thank you, Mr. Chair.
With all due respect to my colleague across the way, I find it a bit odd that he should refer to political posturing. The government party went after its own Speaker to cover up the facts and took disproportionate action to keep things quiet. Under the circumstances, I think that political posturing is an inappropriate reference.
My colleague pointed out the need for efficiency and transparency. No matter the schedule, this should be the case. This mandate is serious and must be treated as such. I think that we shouldn't avoid trying to get to the bottom of things. This important issue has shaken the confidence of Canadians. I want the people who keep up with our work to know that we take it seriously and that we aren't avoiding meetings or avoiding getting to the bottom of things. In terms of political posturing, care should be taken when using this term. There has been quite a bit of it on the other side.
