Thank you, Chair.
If I'm moving ahead of the debate I'm sure you'll tell me quickly. I'm jumping ahead to the business part of it, but they are all linked.
We have two matters of privilege, and one directly involves named members. Therefore the issue hangs over, in this case, the Prime Minister, whereas for the other one we have unknown people. When it comes to these kinds of things, I always think what if it were me at the end of the table facing the rest of my colleagues, what would I want? How would I want to be treated? What would the environment be like? I have to tell you if something like this were hanging over me, I would very much appreciate a quick hearing to deal with it effectively. Whatever it's going to be, don't leave that hanging over me especially as we head into the summer.
Just based on that thinking alone, Chair, I'm hoping that when we move to the business portion in about 10 minutes we would acknowledge that that matter of privilege should take precedence over this one, given the fact that there are named individuals involved. This hangs out there over them that whole time, and that's not to anyone's advantage.
