I objected to this hearing because I think it sets a terrible precedent. I'm not aware of parliamentary committees dragging in persons who set their names forward for public service and trying to embarrass them or ask the types of questions or make the accusations that we've just heard from Mr. Angus or Ms. Lavallée, which I thought were deplorable. I found it somewhat disturbing.
This same week, we appointed a former Liberal member to the CBC board, and nobody wants to hear from that person. But they want to drag you in because they think that it might somehow be favouritism that you were appointed.
Do you feel qualified? From what you've said, you're a well-educated person. You have a lot of life experience, a lot of business experience, and legal experience. You sound qualified to me. Do you feel you're qualified?
