We'll have a look at Hansard, but that's not according to the debates that we sat through in the House of Commons.
The point remains that after Parliament has made a decision.... And one of the strongest decisions was to set up this committee on Afghanistan, which is televised, so that the Canadian public can understand what is happening. That was the key element of that recommendation that was passed, and that is the key element of this thing.
The foreign affairs critic of the Liberal Party said that the public does not have it. They have it; he is wrong. He is on that committee, and it is a televised committee giving an up-to-date account of what is happening in the cabinet committee, because that was what was requested, that the cabinet committee report to that committee.
So Mr. Chair, things have moved forward already, and as things move forward this whole report is, in my view, totally redundant and a waste of time. Even if they say they want to have a government response out of this, the government has already responded to the issue. You may want to go back and flog a dead horse, as I said. What will the government say? The government will say that Parliament passed this.
Mr. Chair, what we are saying is that this report has already been tabled twice—and I will repeat that word, twice—in the House. It's available. Therefore, this a totally irrelevant report, and I want to make that clear, while we continue with the major work that has been done by this special committee on Afghanistan.
