I would like to suggest the same thing as my NDP colleague. Moreover, on the topic of the committee's effectiveness, I would like to add that certain things tend to be remembered, to leave marks. I don't mean to make threats, but the fact remains that we are going to have to work together.
As for the stalling tactics to prevent this meeting from moving forward, a meeting that had been convened right from the outset, they are counterproductive, in my opinion. Nevertheless, I would like to know what Mr. Mayrand wrote to you. I suggest that you read the letter to the members of the committee, that it be photocopied and that we move promptly to discussing the issue which led to our being convened here, as well as your decision. We did not meet this morning at 9 a.m. because you were only able to hand down your decision at 3:30 p.m.
