Thank you, Mr. Chair. I won't take very long, either.
I support the amendment and the motion. When we received the letter on Friday, I was very disappointed to see that this saga would no doubt continue through lengthy proceedings. That's really disappointing for our committee and for Canadians, who have the right to know the truth. We have the right to know what the Kielburgers have to say to the committee about all that we have heard for nearly a year, after all the work we have done.
It makes no sense to refuse to talk to a parliamentary committee. It should be considered an honour to be invited to appear before a committee to explain matters. Right now, the Kielburgers are ignoring an invitation to explain themselves before all Canadians.
I will not delay the committee's work any further. I hope we will be able to vote immediately, Mr. Chair, if no one is opposed.
