Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I only wanted to point out that while I was listening to Mr. Reid, I was having a sense of déjà vu, and then it came to me where I had heard these very same arguments before. It was sitting around the public accounts committee in 2003 when the Liberals were making exactly the same case for why we should not call witnesses in the sponsorship scandal because of the court cases that we could be jeopardizing.
I'd ask the chair to not consider these points as valid, or to come to the same conclusions as the chairman of the public accounts committee came to at that time in the face of these spurious arguments and these long-winded diversionary points of order.
