Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I will be supporting the motion because what the opposition parties are portraying this motion as is exactly not what we want. You've all spoken about trying to get to the truth. We've added days. All this motion does is add some time.
The Speaker's warrant requires or asks the witness, in this case, to review his papers. He claims he has not been able to do so. We're providing some opportunity this afternoon to be able to go, in this motion, and do that. If that is not available to him, after the application that is in front of the Ontario Court of Appeal is heard tomorrow, it gives him that opportunity to review the papers.
It is not a delay tactic. I think that is a very misinformed position to take on this. In fact, we're trying to speed it up, not slow it down. We are trying to get to those questions.
Mr. Schreiber has clearly indicated in his opening statement--which was completely about his extradiction and not about the case of the settlement, which is what the motion was about--that he's not going to talk to us or say anything to us of substance until he looks at his documents. This motion provides him that opportunity to look at his documents.
Let's get back at it this evening, if possible, instead of waiting until next week. If you do not support this motion, you are delaying this process for another four or five days.
Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
