Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Mayrand, thank you for joining us this morning.
Before I ask my first questions, I just wanted to point out that Mr. Del Mastro has gone down a dangerous road in his seven minutes, as interesting as that was. He managed to deliver a speech without asking any questions. I find it curious that someone would want to invite people and make comments and allegations, but have no valid questions to ask.
There was much ado about nothing in this whole story—just a lot of claims, allegations, just hot air: “gone with the wind” like the famous movie. I think it is just a diversion, while the Conservative Party is in hot water in terms of real instances of election fraud.
Just now, Mr. Del Mastro said that he did not need to present any evidence as to the union sponsorship at the NDP convention, since we were all able to see it.
Do you think that seeing ads at a convention is reason enough to make public accusations?
