Mr. Chair, part of Mr. Sari's speech was respectful of the work we've been doing for the last 15 hours. However, he is now repeating—perhaps because he has run out of arguments—that we are putting on a show.
To hear him tell it, the Ethics Commissioner alone could single-handedly resolve all ethical issues that Parliament might raise. However, the Ethics Commissioner was appointed by elected officials, who did not put on a show. Our responsibility, as parliamentarians, is to make laws and amend the law that the commissioner will enforce. Yes, we are currently conducting a review.
That said, Mr. Chair, could you call the meeting to order? Right now, we're not discussing the possibility of hearing from the commissioner.
The commissioner is already listed as the first item in the original motion. We are discussing a subamendment. We let the member speak because he hadn't spoken in a long time.
