I would only say, Mr. Speaker, that we don't owe Mr. Wallace.... We have no obligation to go through everything we went through in the planning committee for his behalf. He was represented there. Mr. Tilson was there at the committee. I don't think that's telling stories out of school, even though it was an in camera meeting. Mr. Tilson participated fully and made their points very well as to why he didn't want this particular meeting to go ahead.
Not all committees have planning subcommittees, and in those that don't choose to have a planning subcommittee, then the planning is done in camera in the committee as a whole. For those that do, for streamlining and efficient use of our time, the planning committee is done in camera. The debate on the motion coming out of that planning committee is open to the public, and that's what we're doing today.
But we're going to cry foul if we sense that the Conservatives are throwing obstacles in the way of this investigation. We have the witnesses here. The public wants to know. Public opinion is seized of this issue, and if there's anything more than a simple summary comment from Mr. Wallace, we should publicly state in this public meeting that the Conservatives are deliberately blocking this important investigation and this important study. The shame will be on them, and the public will be well aware of it.
