I just want to express the concerns I have about this being in the report. I don't think it's appropriate. All of us have made recommendations throughout many of the proceedings of this committee, none of which are reflected in this report or quoted and referenced with our names attached to them. I just think that's inappropriate.
I would also say that I thought the way committees functioned was to receive testimony from expert witnesses. Is Mr. Brassard an expert witness on venues in Ottawa for other locations? I don't see how this is actually expert opinion. I think it's one committee member's opinion, and it seems inappropriate—no disrespect to Mr. Brassard. I appreciate the comments and the suggestions, even though I don't agree that these were good suggestions. I just don't think that it's appropriate to have this in there, given the fact that we haven't given voice to the many other, I think, substantial recommendations that other members have made. If we did so, I think this report would probably go on for hundreds of pages.
