That's a very serious issue. It makes a farce of the Accountability Act and transparencies that the Prime Minister ran on.
That being the case, given that the statement was just made in the House today--and I understand there has been response by the other parties that I certainly haven't seen--this is an extremely serious issue. I would say that we look at the statements that have been made in the House by Mr. Hill, look at them fairly thoroughly, and the responses by the other parties, and then make a determination on another day.
We can put forward a motion if we want to summon Mr. Soudas at a later time, or whatever process the committee decides to use, but what I am saying is let's not make a hasty decision today. Let's look at what was said in the House, see what the implications are, and think very seriously about it. I believe there are serious implications for our democracy and our ability as committees to function effectively based on what happened here today, because of the cloak of secrecy that has been thrown over government, and I'd say an abuse of Parliament that has been thrown forward by the Prime Minister's Office.
So I say let's take a few days to think about it and then the appropriate motion may come forward.
