Thank you, Chair. I appreciate it.
It's unfortunate that the suspension came after the pile-on. I must have hit a nerve there in talking about the connections between the conviction of an Ontario Liberal operative and the subject at hand with respect to destruction of documents.
I would note for my colleagues that there were hours of speaking by them without the interjection of a point of order or a heckle or any of a number of things, and that I didn't get 60 seconds into speaking before the pile-on started. I think it's important to note that while I have disagreed heartily with much of what has been said by my Liberal colleagues, I've restrained my interventions on the relevance or the lack thereof in what has been said today.
Chair, I had concluded my remarks before we slipped into the gong show there, so I would ask that the committee members have the courage of their convictions and vote on the motion at hand.
Thank you, Chair.
