I just want to add that the people will be the ones to judge the remarks by Mr. Anderson, the minister's parliamentary secretary. Because he said that as far as he was concerned, our attempts to get transparency, to get information about this issue and the fact that we want to use this information to inform the people properly are nothing more than lowly partisan delay tactics and filibustering on the part of the opposition.
As we have said right from the very beginning, this subcommittee was struck in order to make up for the lack of transparency that the government deliberately and decisively demonstrated throughout this entire crisis. Again today, the minister told the committee that he is very pleased with the way he has been running things. He is always telling us that the opposition is challenging the competency of Ms. Weatherill, which has never been the case. Everyone knows—the media has mentioned this—that it's impossible to find out what's going on during this investigation, which is being done in secret, on the sly.
The minister will receive his report and will do what he pleases with it. That's clear in everyone's mind. The Conservatives are the only ones who are still saying that it was the right thing to do. This is not how SARS and the tainted blood scandal were dealt with. Unfortunately, there were other crises in the past. But investigations were not done on the sly back then. An independent judge was appointed to oversee the inquiry. This is how we should proceed. This is the reason for having this subcommittee. We are not here for the fun of it. Rather, we are here because the people have asked for the truth and they want us to identify possible solutions so that these kinds of incidents do not happen again.
We are not naive; we know that this could happen again, but as lawmakers, we must do all we can to avoid a recurrence of these types of crises. I think that's our job. We are just doing our job. The sole purpose of Mr. Allen's motion is to get to the truth. In no way do I see it as a form of filibustering or as a delaying tactic.
We will be voting in favour of this motion.
