Mr. Chairperson, I'm going to bring my comments right down to.... I don't want to buy into the whole confusion of things by throwing a whole pile of other things into the matter. I think we have to keep it in its simplest form.
The other question I had posed was with regard to the satellite office. You recall that when I posed that particular question of the Speaker there was a response. What came out of that particular interaction was that the deputy leader of the New Democratic Party said that she had apparently misspoken in that CTV interview. I can appreciate that at least she has taken that approach in terms of saying that she should not have said what she said on CTV in regard to the satellite office.
Mr. Chairperson, the bottom line is I do believe, in looking at the motion, there is merit for the committee to continue to look into the matter and the request would seem to be reasonable.
I was a bit surprised when Mr. Opitz, in his motion, made reference to the lease. I do plan to pull the information that I was provided. I had thought that was the complete lease, so I'm a bit surprised that might not have been the case and I wonder why.
With those few remarks, Mr. Chair, I'm prepared to vote in favour of the motion.
