Yes, we've had all the chat around the table about presuppositions, and yet here we are presupposing we're going to have this thing wrapped up in the winter. I think that's foolhardy and it does not reflect where we are at all, in terms of our witness lists and our work plan. It's premature in so many ways. I'm referencing, from my community and from the public, the lack of communications on the public inquiry side. I'll say on the record that people are frustrated that they're not hearing anything out of that committee, and I would just put to this one that if that process is going to be a process that goes away in private and kind of takes its time to deliberate in ways that are not open and transparent, it is incumbent on us as a joint parliamentary committee, with the seriousness of what's before us here, to provide answers to Canadians in an open, transparent and public way.
This is not personal—I have a great deal of affection for Mr. Naqvi—but I just think that this is very premature and I certainly will not be presupposing that this will be wrapped up, given that we don't even know if we're going to get the documents. We don't know what witnesses are going to come from the documents. We have no idea what's going to happen over these next couple of months, and so with all due respect to Mr. Naqvi, there's no chance that I would support this motion.
