Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Mayrand, as I listen to the questions from my colleagues with the Conservative Party, it strikes me that we're on a dangerous and slippery slope when the Government of Canada, the ruling party, represented by parliamentary secretaries and representatives of the government, express non-confidence in an officer of Parliament and in the Chief Electoral Officer at Elections Canada. They not only express non-confidence, but accuse you of bias, of tipping off the Liberal Party, and also, in one line of questioning, even asking whether you handed over the computers and the Conservative campaign information to the Liberal Party when you seized it during the raid on Conservative Party headquarters.
This really worries me. When I say we're on a slippery slope here, do you feel, as an officer of Parliament, that they've expressed non-confidence in your ability and in your operation through their line of questioning?
