I was really moved by Mr. Long telling us what a great committee it is and how he wanted us to come together, yet he's saying that the reason I brought this motion forward was to destroy a children's charity and that I am now intent on destroying Canadian businesses.
I know we're now in the 36th hour and the Liberals are getting desperate, but this is attacking my reputation. I take my work very seriously. I don't have a clue who Mr. Long is. I believe he's been elected. I'm sure he does great work with his people, but I don't know this man. He's never been on my committee before. He comes in and says I set this motion up to destroy a children's charity. He missed all the work, perhaps, when I explained about the problems we have to deal with.
I take this stuff very seriously. I come and I back it up with facts. I back it up with documentation. I stay focused on the issue at hand. If I'm going to have to sit and listen to the Liberals descend further and further, from talking about vaccines to talking about underwear and talking about the 1980s up until now, and have them challenge me and say that I'm doing all of this to destroy a charity....
I think Mr. Long is way out of line. I would ask you to keep us focused so that we don't end up disgracing this committee even further than it's been disgraced by the ongoing obstruction by the Liberals.
