Yes, Mr. Chairman, I find myself in a difficult position here because, on the one hand, I know Mr. Therrien. I know of his qualifications. As I said, I've had the benefit of working with him. On the other hand, I don't believe in short-circuiting a process of such importance and having only one hour for his appearance, let alone any other considerations that might have otherwise been given, and as said, was the process at the time I served in the Liberal government.
My concern is that if I were not to vote for the motion, it might be inferred as my not supporting Mr. Therrien, which I do. On the other hand, if I vote for the motion then it might be inferred that I'm satisfied with the process as it's been undertaken. That's why I think we've been put in a quandary in this regard, and I regret that it had to lead to this.
