Mr. Chair, the purpose of this motion is to discuss the integrity of the state. As everyone here knows, this issue was raised in question period in the House. The Global News report, published about 10 days ago, casts doubt on the public's confidence in the Canadian government.
Through this motion, I would like the committee to dispel that doubt so that the integrity of the state is not called into question or, if necessary, corrected. One of the things we do in this ethics committee is to ensure that the public has confidence in the democratic institution of the government. That is our fundamental mission.
