A very important point has been raised here. The responsibility on ministers of the crown, on public office-holders, is great, as are the expectations that the public places on them. Unfortunately, in this situation, ministers of the crown or public office-holders are in fact implicated. We at this committee might have the onerous task of having to hear from those ministers, and to hear how we've come to this situation.
Madam Dawson, if members of a committee have in fact been implicated—if their signatures are on these phony cheques—do you think it's ethical for those committee members to take part in debates and investigations? The committee would be investigating malfeasance on their own part.
