Just hang on a second, Iqra—

4:50 p.m.

Conservative

She's grandstanding. She just said that we had a minister of the Crown here—

Let me clarify—

Mr. Chair, if there's anybody who knows what grandstanding looks like, it is that member right there.

If you don't want to be held accountable for shutting down a meeting with the RCMP commissioner, Iqra, then you shouldn't do it.

Mr. Barrett, I'm going to ask you to stop, please.

Ms. Khalid, I'm going to ask you to stop—

If you don't want to stand by your actions, then don't act that way.

4:50 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative John Brassard

The motion Mr. Barrett is referring to is a motion that was passed last week to have a subcommittee meeting as soon as possible.

Given the circumstances of the extra hour that was available to us this afternoon, I'm fulfilling the committee's wish on that motion to have a subcommittee meeting. That's how this came up.

4:50 p.m.

Chair, if she's going to be yelling about people lying, which she just did—
