I would just like to say one thing.
I find this government's actions somewhat incoherent. I'll continue in the same vein as Mrs. Thi Lac. As part of its probe into the Guergis affair, the Standing Committee on Government Operations invited two ministers, Mr. Paradis and Ms. Raitt, to appear. Both declined the invitation, even though these two ministers whom the committee had wanted to question were responsible for this matter and accountable to their respective departments.
Today, we have ministers, whether Ms. Finley or Mr. Baird, who seem to have decided on a whim to put in an appearance before this committee. While we find their company enjoyable, we did not summon them. They are not responsible for the matter on which we would like to rule. We want to know what is going on in the Prime Minister's Office. Mr. Baird does not work in the PMO. The government is mocking this committee, using stalling tactics to hide the truth once again and keep us in the dark.
Mr. Chair, I would like my motion to be put to a vote.
