Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Just very quickly, I'm going to ask you a question, but the fact is that on June 19 Mr. Tilson spent 45 minutes, and I spent almost an hour, explaining to the committee that we would not get all the answers because of sub judice. And this is exactly what's happened. Despite that, the members opposite chose to spend taxpayers' dollars to have a hearing that can't get the answers.
However, here's my point, Mr. Chair. You did send a letter, on your own accord, telling the witness which questions to answer and which questions not to answer. I have a copy of the letter, and I respect that. Prior to making that comment, Mr. Chair, you stated just a few minutes ago that you contacted committee members to make sure this was the way we would go ahead. Sir, you did not contact me.
I would like a list of the Conservative members you actually contacted. Or was this another unilateral decision made by a chair who has been appointed by the Liberal Party and is in fact a Liberal member?
