Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to begin by saying that, as my colleague pointed out, I am against the fact that we are studying this matter. We are using this committee, which is supposed to be considering issues that are useful to Canadian society, to study a partisan matter. I think this is another example of the deplorable tactics that the Conservatives have been using.
I would also like to correct something the parliamentary secretary said. He suggested that the NDP might have played a role in this matter, since we had sent someone to consult documents in Winnipeg. I would just like to say that we were blamed in this matter for no reason.
Furthermore, when I asked a question of the Minister of Public Safety on Bill C-30—I wanted information for Canadians—I was personally accused by the Minister of Foreign Affairs for being partly responsible for or for playing a role in that situation.
Mr. Carroll, I would like to ask you whether the NDP was involved in the matter.
