I don't wish to embarrass the member any further. It's obvious the member cannot name a single one of these appointments or talk about their backgrounds. We on this side have done due diligence.
We are proud of a process that is in place, that has worked very well. We leave it open so that if there is a concern about any specific one, the NDP or the Liberals can certainly come forward and make a motion to actually look at a specific one, but we will not support looking at nine individuals over what the NDP said are “some committee meetings”. That is what Mr. Julian said. We do not have the time to look at “some committee meetings” on this issue. We are willing to do the work on our own time. I'm surprised the opposition is not. If we have a concern, certainly we'll bring it to committee.
We've already done our homework. We don't have a concern. If the NDP or the Liberals have a concern, we're open to their bringing it forward with some specifics and not having it take too much time out of the committee.
