No, it's not unfair at all. Actually, I fully understand where you're coming from, and I fully understand what you're trying to get from me.
I would love to have come to this committee with factual information, with a good understanding of what this process is about, where the government is going with it, and what the impact will be on Canadians in the long term.

As I tried to say to your colleague, no, I didn't contact the clerk, but I did try to get as much information as I could that was relevant to the members I represent. I was unable to do that.
