Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This party on the other side—whatever you want to call it: the Alliance, Reform, or Conservative Party—spoke of the importance of transparency and accountability. Here we are on this issue of great importance to Canadians, and all they have been doing in this committee is blocking, filibustering, and stalling at every opportunity they get. It is disgraceful that we have two advocates for freedom of information who have worked long and hard to get to the truth of this important issue, for access to the information about Afghanistan, and this is the issue this government would like us to lose sight of.
That is disgraceful, and it is a black mark on democracy—not on the words of the report.
I would request that all members, especially Mr. Tilson.... You have been in this committee long before us, and you should get on with it.
