I would like to come back very quickly to what Mr. Lukiwski just said. Finding a remedy for the future is indeed part of what we are doing.
But we are also all concerned about what has happened. I was a member of this committee. When I got a call from a journalist and the journalist knew very clearly what my position had been on a particular recommendation, that interfered with my ability to do my job, individually and, as the Speaker said, collectively. One of the things I admire in the parliamentary system here is that it is relatively nonpartisan; we are able to work as a group. We would no longer be able do it then.
When I got the call from a lobbyist who knew very well that their request was not part of the NDP's recommendations, but I might have been able to work with the others and let myself be persuaded, that interfered with my ability to do my job.
Part of our function is to change things for the future, but punishing misconduct must also be part of it, if we want to defend our institution's ability to function.
That's all. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
