Thank you, Madam Chair.
As we move toward the inevitable, in this very long and unnecessarily prolonged discussion, I'd like to reflect on what's been going on for the past three months plus.
We have dealt with one another in this committee very respectfully and collegially, with a certain amount of humour, but at the same time have recognized that the Liberal minority on this committee has been acting to protect the Prime Minister, preventing the will of the majority of the members on this committee.
Basically, it fulfilled an objective that was described very eloquently in the Globe and Mail, regarding the behaviour of Liberal minority membership on committees right across the House. It was essentially to prevent accountability on any number of crucially important matters that should be considered, examined, and be open to consideration in every standing committee, and special committee for that matter, of the House of Commons.
