Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have listened carefully to Mr. Godin's comments. Curiously, those comments seem to be coming close to a solution that seems very valid to me. Recently, right here in this committee, we have been able to see how professional the analysts' work is. Members from all parties have congratulated them on their work. Clearly, for the credibility of the committee, once our conclusions are established, it would be preferable to base ourselves on a document that has a certain balance than on one that I would call a mish-mash of propaganda. Far be it from me to call Mr. McKay's proposal a mish-mash of propaganda. That is not what I am saying. It just seems that the work of this committee should be based on an objective analysis of the testimony we have gathered.
I support Mr. Reid's motion, but, in order for the committee to be able to achieve the goals it has set for itself, it is certainly time to give the analysts a clear mandate. It seems to me that that would avoid a lot of hot air.
