Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'm just going to echo the thoughts of my colleague, Ms. Saks, on this one, as well as my colleague, Mr. Baker, who previously pointed out that you can't have it both ways.
We wanted to go through an exercise where we could have discussions on different witnesses who we would invite to committee. That was shot down by one of the Conservative members who said no, it's not our job to do that. Now we're in a situation where the witnesses have been brought forward. They were asked by the department to directly respond to questions as outlined in the motion itself, and were brought forward. The department made their decision to bring the experts forward who they thought could best answer these questions.
This is my personal opinion on this, Mr. Chair. They came here; they answered the questions. I don't think the questions were responded to in a way that was very helpful to the point that the honourable NDP member was trying to get across. She was looking for information that would be helpful to try to show in some way that there was a mishandling of this particular case, that in some way the government tried to get involved and let this corporation off easy.
