That reassures me somewhat because I had the impression we weren't allowed to discuss that here, but this is the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development. I believe it is also our duty to get answers to all your questions, as Mr. Longangué clearly stated in his address.
A lot of questions also remain unanswered for us. You know we were deeply saddened by the death of Mr. Beauregard. Throughout the entire crisis, we were kept somewhat at a distance from Parliament. We were somewhat excluded for a brief period of time, and these incidents followed quite soon thereafter. In our minds, it was really necessary and imperative to have you here at this table to inform us and give us answers to our questions. We also sense the context in which you currently find yourself, a context of insecurity and discomfort, because we get the impression you have been stripped of your freedom of speech.
Mr. Vallerand, in your testimony and in the minutes you submitted to us concerning the recent incidents, I feel somewhat as though a virus entered your organization and that someone wants to blow it up. You are on the inside. You're going through this crisis. What will result from this? Does someone absolutely want to alter the nature of your organization's mission or to abolish it completely?
