Madam Chair, I understand the reservations that my colleague is expressing here at the table, but I would say that the current situation is rather unusual.
I know that we have not yet heard from Mr. Morneau. I am anxious to hear from him as well, because I will have some important questions for him. Nevertheless, a number of facts have already been established and are public, and they cannot be ignored. Mr. Morneau has not said that he did not commit the acts of which he is accused. He said that he did commit them, that he placed himself in a conflict of interest at the meeting where he decided to vote in favour of a contract for WE Charity, and that he apologized for it.
Once that is admitted and the minister has apologized—I really want us to accept the apology—there is a practical consequence. We have an admission of serious misconduct, and it is not premature for the committee to adopt the resolution I am proposing to you this afternoon. I invite you to support it.
