Mr. Green, the first thing I would say is that it's by conducting yourselves as you have tonight. There have been elements of partisanship perhaps, but I've been encouraged by what I've seen is a genuine desire on the part of members of the committee to try to understand what your responsibilities are and to try to discharge those responsibilities to the best of your ability. That's how you'll most serve Canadians.
It comes back to the final comments that I made in my opening remarks. Our body politic is wounded at the present time. We need to heal those wounds. We need to do it by treating each other, as Canadians, with respect. We need to do so in a way that sets aside partisan differences and puts the national interest first.
We can debate whether or not the act should have been invoked, but there was a crisis. The obligation of Parliament at this point is to do everything it can to try to heal the divisions that have been created. That means transparency and collaboration, and a lack of partisanship is critical.
