Let me phrase it so you can think about this a little longer.
If this committee wants to show that the Conservative Party of Canada was in error in its interpretation of the act, would it not be wise to have the Liberal Party of Canada here telling us why they were not in error, based on the fact that they had public office holders as part of the system?
It doesn't make any sense to me that you can rule it out of order that one party is involved that has public office holders, and the other party that has public office holders, which I believe you agree with--there's one sitting at our table--has nothing to give to this study. I do not believe it.
I want to hear from the clerk, because I'm taking this to the head clerk to find out what they believe.
