I appreciate that intervention, Mr. Gerretsen.
I did rule that the motion was in order for several reasons, not the least of which is what I consider to be the mandate of the committee, which is access to information, privacy and ethics. I also ruled on the basis that our committee did study foreign interference and presented a report to Parliament. I believe that this issue is within the mandate of the committee.
I appreciate your point of order.
Go ahead, Mr. Cooper. You have the floor.
