I heard that you were suggesting that unless the government proceeded with this in a hurry before the deadline, they could set this issue aside, and the government would have no fear about Mr. Mulroney appearing before this committee again, because they would get it done.
Well, Mr. Chair, and respectfully to Mr. Murphy, through you, Mr. Chair, this appears to be a form of bullying. This appears to be the opposition, at least from the Liberal side, basically stating to the government that unless they did what the Liberals wanted, there would be consequences.
I know this is repetition, but it's to make the point. It's literary. Please, don't cut me off.
He said that unless we did as they said, there would be...he didn't say “hell to pay”, but consequences.
I don't think it's appropriate for Mr. Murphy to make that suggestion. Mr. Murphy might have other good reasons to suggest that June 12 would be an appropriate day. It could be that it's his favourite day of the month. It could be that it works in his schedule. It could be that he already knows what Mr. Mulroney's calendar looks like for the next couple of weeks.
