Dr. Braun, if I may interject--we only have seven minutes and you can talk out the clock--I have to try to get to the bottom of this article.
This article appeared before the employees appeared before the board. You've described the organization as deeply dysfunctional. It would be a little odd if Parliament didn't deal with that: it's our organization and we created the organization. The comments of the people who are saying we shouldn't be here or shouldn't be discussing this, of those who refer to it as a gong show or say the opposition can't tell the difference between democratic allies and terrorists, or of those who accuse us of being anti-Semitic because we had a meeting on Passover—and Parliament does meet on Passover, as we all have to be here, and the G8 meeting was held on Passover—and who then go on to attack all the other former people who were involved with the organization, do you see those as consistent with the working of a functional board, particularly when the member of your board who is making those comments decides to let himself go and attack every person on the board who's not a member of the Conservative Party?
What's going on in this board? Why would you countenance that kind of behaviour from a board member? You're chairman of the board; you have a responsibility to hold members of your board accountable. This is just bizarre behaviour by somebody at the outset of a hearing to be making these accusations.
You want to talk about George Orwell? George Orwell would have a field day with this. I know quite a bit about George Orwell. He'd have a real field day with this kind of nonsense appearing in the middle of our discussion.
Why wouldn't you ask for this board member's resignation?
