The point of order, Mr. Chairman, is that I believe Mr. Thibault should recuse himself from this committee. He cannot use this committee as an examination for discovery--or a question, as it is now known in the legal field--to further his personal action. Justice must appear to be done, whether it's in the courts or whether it's in this committee.
With all due respect to Mr. Thibault, and you, sir, I don't even know whether you have the jurisdiction to recuse him. You probably don't.
I'm going to rely on his honour, because I don't think he should participate in this debate. I don't think he should participate in any voting on any of these matters, because he is personally involved. If this were a municipal council, he'd be out of here. He'd be gone. He would have to recuse himself. Otherwise he would be sued.
I believe that because of his conflict of interest in these proceedings, Mr. Chairman--and the clerk may have to assist you; I don't know whether you have the authority to recuse him. You may not. If you don't, I'm going to rely on his honour to recuse himself. If he doesn't recuse himself, I will guarantee you that further action will be taken.
