Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Sitting in this committee as a non-regular member, I find it a bit disheartening that my colleagues across the way in the Liberal caucus have made representations, or provided past proof, that ultimately the Conservative Party of Canada has complete disrespect for Parliament. The Conservative Party, on the other side, has shown that Liberals now also have complete disrespect for Parliament.
As a New Democrat who values that power of people, I want to ask you this, Mr. Dufresne. You have said repeatedly that the power of Parliament is supreme and that this power is determined by the people for the people. Can you just clarify once again that this is about people and the power of people, not the power of the political parties and not the power of the Liberals or the Conservatives themselves, and that respect must be shown ultimately to the people and Parliament?
