Mr. Chair, it's actually quite amusing to watch the Conservatives squirm; it's entertaining. It's almost as telling as the allegations themselves. As much as I like watching them squirm and try to delay and stonewall, I'd actually like to see this committee get some work done.
The books of all parties are open. In fact, that's what got the Conservatives into trouble. So I would recommend to my colleagues of the Conservative Party that they go and spend their time to look at every other party's books, and if they have allegations they can table them. The books are open.
But right now, we have business in front of this committee. We have a court procedure. We have allegations by Elections Canada. We have allegations by Conservative candidates. This is a very, very serious matter. We cannot go back to our constituents and pretend that this is not an important matter for us to look at. This is just an attempt by the Conservatives to delay, delay, delay, and covering up fits in nicely.
So they can try all they want, but I'd like us to call this matter to a vote, so we can vote on this amendment right now and move forward to the motion that was originally submitted.
