It is my pleasure to repeat my colleague's notice of motion, which I am happy to support, in French.
That, given the new information on the matter of political interference in a criminal prosecution by the Office of the Prime Minister disclosed in documents tabled by Jody Wilson-Raybould and Gerald Butts, the Committee:
a. Instruct the Chair to write a letter to the Prime Minister requesting that he waive all constraints that may prevent individuals invited to appear before the Committee from speaking freely; b. Invite Justin Trudeau to appear prior to April 12; c. Invite Jody Wilson-Raybould to appear prior to April 12; d. Invite Jane Philpott to appear prior to April 12; e. Invite Katie Telford to appear prior to April 12; f. Invite Elder Marques to appear prior to April 12; g. Invite Mathieu Bouchard to appear prior to April 12; h. Invite Amy Archer to appear prior to April 12; i. Invite Ben Chin to appear prior to April 12; j. Invite Justin To to appear prior to April 12; k. Invite Jessica Prince to appear prior to April 12; l. Sit extra hours in order to conduct these additional meetings
Mr. Chair, you understand that it is always our hope that, on the opposite side, some are listening attentively. We hope that light will be shed and that we will be able to give all of these witnesses the opportunity to present their version of the facts for the benefit of all Canadians, who want to hear the truth about this truly important matter. So, the sooner this matter is resolved, the better it will be for everyone.
I hope that my voice will be heard.
