Well, clearly, this one person mentioned should be questioned very directly--clearly. But the intimation of plural being more means that there should be more.

All right.

Mr. Patry, a final word.

9:55 a.m.

Liberal

Bernard Patry Liberal Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC

I just want to go back to Mr. Goldring.

Mr. Goldring, when you talk about MPs, with an “s”, it's the title, and a title is not the text from the person. This is what that person could have said: MPs. That's why they say MPs with an “s”.

Now, I've been on this committee for the past 14 years, and it has never occurred. All the members of this committee, the main committee of foreign affairs, are great about this. There was no leaking. I trust all my members. Nobody from our committee has done these things.

And that's why I said that hopefully we can take it back to other people.

That report has been around for some time. It's been with our staffers. It's been with the subcommittee. Each one of us makes sure that we keep the integrity of this thing going.

We will suspend for one minute, and then we will come back in camera.
