I would ask you to ask yourselves that. You're the ones who have invited an ex-chef to appear at these hearings; you're the ones who seem to be intrigued by that story. I'm coming here, and I was invited principally, to talk about the Bear Head arrangement.
But I think that as a citizen of Canada I have a responsibility to provide information that I think can help you out, and I'm telling you not to get diverted by these wild goose chases. We're looking for $10 million. We're not looking for the reconciliation of something that appeared in Stevie Cameron's book about what the chef may or may not have seen at 24 Sussex. It's a vivid description and would make a good television show, but I'm saying that from what I know, that's not what you should be doing. What you should be doing is subpoenaing documents, subpoenaing bank records, proposing a deal.
The criminal justice system makes these kinds of deals on a daily basis. Let's find out what Schreiber has. He may have nothing. He may be tearing out the guts of this country for no reason. On the other hand, he may have something. Let's find out. What are we delaying for? Make him a deal. So he'll end up staying in Canada, so he'll end up not going to Germany, if he actually has something and if the testimony proves reliable.
There's a public interest in getting to the bottom of this story. We are not going to clean up our system of government until we get to the bottom of this story.
