Mr. Chairman, with regard to the technique that was referred to as “in and out” in 2000, the Bloc Québécois has letters in its possession. When we debate the Conservatives motion, or that put forward by any other party, and discuss the funding techniques used in the 1997, 2000, 2004 and 2006 electoral campaigns, in due course, the Bloc Québécois will be tabling those letters.
We received the approval, the benediction, the imprimatur, the okay from Elections Canada. As opposed to the Conservatives, we of the Bloc Québécois at this time have no case before the Federal Court involving what transpired during the last elections, and all of our reimbursement claims were accepted by Elections Canada. Consequently, this red herring thrown out following the interpretation made by a journalist that what we did could be comparable to this “in-and-out” technique... I assure you that this is the last time that... I gave an overview of the situation, I made my point, and I don't want to go back on the issue.
In conclusion, I suggest that we vote immediately on Mr. Poilievre's excellent amendment and that we also vote on the excellent motion introduced by the four parties, the four members of the committee who asked that this meeting be held. I suggest that we dispose of these motions and that we immediately decide on a follow-up to Mr. Mayrand's letter with regard to women voting with veiled faces. Those are my suggestions.
Let me reiterate that I did not raise my voice, I did not get angry, I did not get red, I did not have palpitations. I feel very well and I look forward to calling my psychiatrist later to tell him how I behaved.
