Thank you, Chair. I'm sure we all have the letter in front of us here. We certainly, on the opposition side, have some serious questions, as the letter says, about exactly when the Prime Minister's Office first became aware of the RCMP investigation into the various activities of the Liberal member of Parliament for Brampton—East.
I'm asking because the stories from different unnamed sources in the PMO, from answers in the House, and from the member himself have changed and evolved over the course of the last couple of weeks. It goes beyond the original explanation of a health problem, to a gambling addiction, to millions of dollars, to repayment of those millions of dollars ostensibly or allegedly or as claimed to be from family members, but we don't know where those family members sourced the provenance of all of these dollars and these payments. We have the questions that the member asked before he was removed from the finance committee by the government, which raised very serious questions about his motivation as a member of that committee at a time when, we understand, the RCMP was tracking his heavy gambling activity, and then all of this on top of the questions about his outside employer as a member of Parliament and the continuing questions, the unexplained questions, about the invitation of that employer into the Prime Minister's embarrassing trip to India and the appearance—it may not in fact be the reality—of a different form of cash for access.
All of that said, and coming back to the standing order that I quoted, Standing Order 106(4), we on the opposition side are calling for a briefing with the Clerk of the Privy Council and with officials from the PMO to testify as to what, in fact, they do know and when they were first informed that there was an RCMP investigation into Mr. Grewal's activities.
