We had Ms. O'Gorman come forward requesting an in camera opportunity to discuss these matters a bit more openly, and now we have a situation where we've just sent her away. It's interesting that we want privilege when in fact it was broken when she was prepared to appear to discuss this matter.
I'm a bit concerned now that we are in fact manipulating and prejudicing the integrity of the investigation. I think it's unfortunate that these procedures are taking place. We have motions before the House. The fact that something is taking precedence over the other is I think a bit confusing for all who are watching and trying to understand, because of some of the urgency that's being brought forward. I need clarity as to what is taking place here. Why did we let go of someone who is appearing before us at the request of the committee and we didn't finish off that discussion? Why are now putting forward something that may provide the way that may very well hurt the integrity of the investigation and jeopardize the procedure?
Why we aren't giving Mr. Johns the respect he's requesting in respect to his amendment that he put forth prior to Mr. Genuis and the amendment that I put forward as well, Mr. Chair?
