Chair, the member has said that bringing Canadians before this committee and discussing their relationship with the government would jeopardize their privacy, their corporate interests, their reputation, and yet he continues to bring up names of individuals because of their affiliation, or reported affiliation, with the Conservative Party. He is effectively looking to smear them in hopes he will wear out the opposition, and somehow, by saying the names of Conservatives, we'll be convinced to not call these witnesses.
If the member has the courage of his convictions, Chair, I would ask, through you, that he stop those tactics and vote on the motion to call the individuals named based on the reasons stated in the motion.
