You can go and make your calls if you wish, Mr. Angus. But I think, Charlie, that those comments were out of line.
When witnesses come in.... I chose to use my time to read into the record, because there was no other time to do it, the apology made by former Prime Minister Mulroney, and some people thought that was offensive. I'm not exactly sure it was offensive. I think you have to set the background of what has and has not been done.
To read that somehow as my being rude to witnesses.... I've been on committees all the time where members don't ask a question of the witnesses, and that's how they choose to use their time. I think there has to be an acknowledgment, Mr. Chair, that when members have their time for questioning, they may use it as they see fit. It's not being rude; it's not being bush league.
It just doesn't set a very good foundation for how things are going to go on this bill.
