I haven't yet spoken about this.
Things did happen. Prorogation deserves to be studied and I had previously suggested this to the government. I am the House leader of the Bloc Québécois, and I know what's going on with the Bloc when we're in Parliament. The government House leader should really tell us what he knows about what happened. He's supposed to explain to us why Parliament was prorogued.
When Mr. Rodriguez came to the committee, he didn't say anything. He just kept repeating that he didn't know, and that he had no idea why it had been prorogued. He seemed to be defending himself by implying that he was not the one who made the decision.
While listening to Mr. Rodriguez, I came to the conclusion that only one person could answer our questions and shed light on prorogation, and I believe it's clear who that is.
Mr. Rodriguez told us that he didn't even know that Minister Morneau had resigned on August 17 or that Parliament had been prorogued on August 18. We are therefore not even close to understanding a political event that occurred. And it was an important event, because Parliament was shut down.
What I'm saying is that I don't see how, without the appearance of the Prime Minister, we are going to get the kind of information that will help us understand the reason for this prorogation.
That's why I have been supporting Ms. Vecchio's approach from the outset. The only person who needs to come here to explain the situation to us is Mr. Trudeau.
Through his non-answers, the government House leader showed us that the decision was really made by the Prime Minister. That's my opinion.
