Thank you very much for asking that, Mr. Long.
As we have heard from all of the opposition parties, including Mr. Blaikie just moments ago, I think the one person we are looking for is the Prime Minister.
To me, the biggest sticking point we have is that we're hearing from the government that the Prime Minister will not come because he already testified at committee last summer. That was before prorogation. We're asking why he prorogued on August 18. He never answered any questions about prorogation because he went to committee prior to prorogation. That's one of the things.
I've heard Mr. Blaikie speak about this many times. The Prime Minister is who everybody is looking for on the opposition side. I'm sorry, I don't mean to speak for the Bloc or anyone else, but I think that is the holding point. Until they can come to something—everybody on the government is saying that the Prime Minister will not come because he has done this before; that is incorrect—we're just going to continue to filibuster.
Obviously, I don't know what the final solution is. I just know that the majority of the committee would like to hear from the Prime Minister. The reason this continues is that if we go to a vote, the majority of this committee would vote to have the Prime Minister here. I know that is the bottom line.
