Mr. Chair, given the way in which this committee meeting is unfolding, it seems to me that utter disdain is being shown for a parliamentary institution that is deserving of the utmost respect in a democratic government. There is nothing positive about this situation. With all due respect for Mr. Baird, a person whom I admire greatly, I think we are showing disrespect for the committee and for the institution of Parliament. We are playing along with the government which is still continuing to interfere in an inappropriate way. Therefore, I ask that you adjourn this meeting.
