Thank you.
Mr. Martin, I'm satisfied that you really have no evidence to offer this committee concerning the Bear Head project, the Airbus purchase, or the consulting agreement between a former prime minister and Mr. Schreiber.
I'd like to remind the chair and members of the committee of the directive this committee agreed to, which is:
That in order to examine whether there were violations of ethical code of conduct standards by any office holder, the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics review matters relating to the Mulroney Airbus settlement, including any and all new evidence, testimony and information not available at the time of the settlement, and including allegations related to the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney made by Karlheinz Schreiber, and in particular the handling of allegations by the present government, including the circulation of relevant correspondence from the Privy Council Office and the Prime Minister's Office.
That is the direction of this committee.
Mr. Martin, I would like to apologize for bringing you before this committee and putting you through the ordeal you've had to go through. It was most unnecessary.
And I remind all of my colleagues that they should exercise due consideration when they are doing this to a witness. I think it was uncalled for.
I have nothing further.
