Mr. Chairman, I believe it is appropriate for the chair to point out that members are here to do an entirely proper job. Our role is to protect taxpayers. This is the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates. I am very pleased to see that former Minister Fortier is here. We are asking questions and we have a right to do so. If we discover additional information along the way, so much the better. Whatever the case may be, he is not here to tell us that we are not doing our job and that we are wasting our time. No one is wasting time here.
