Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just have one comment.
According to the argument raised by Mr. Reid in his point of order, the matter would be in the hands of Elections Canada and could be referred to the courts and so forth. For instance, in the case of the sponsorship scandal, the court became involved, the RCMP conducted an investigation, the Gomery Commission conducted its own special inquiry and a parliamentary study was done. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
Furthermore, the Speaker of the House, Mr. Milliken, has made it clear each time that this committee is its own master.
I simply wanted to make that point.
