Thank you, Mr. Martin.
I have the speakers list. I'm going to go to Mr. Hubbard, but I would like to now rule on the point of order raised by Mr. Tilson with regard to Mr. Thibault.
Coincidentally, a similar question arose in the public accounts committee this morning that was related to a conflict of interest and a question of whether a member should recuse himself from any activity of the committee.
It was the opinion of legal counsel, and I concur, that the member has rights as a full member of this committee. He is assigned to this committee at this time, and there is no requirement, obligation, or reason for him to recuse himself. That is his decision, should he become aware of a reason that would require him to recuse himself. The committee cannot force a member to recuse himself.
Thank you very much.
Mr. Hubbard, please.
