I think the responsibility and the independence of this committee reside in the fact that we want to look at this and get to the bottom of this and find out what happened. If there's any side-stepping, frankly from my perspective it's that of the former government, who were in charge of this when it happened. I would like to actually get to the bottom of it and then bring in the minister to see what we're going to do to ensure that the mistakes of the past 10 years don't happen again and that these types of sweetheart deals for certain Canadians don't continue, moving forward.
Certainly I would like to know who was responsible in the first place, when this was happening. Asking the current minister, who had nothing to do with the deal that was made previously.... I think we would be positioning ourselves as a committee much better to actually get to the bottom of what happened and find those who were involved in the process to begin with.
