Madam Chair, it's very important that that meeting be held before the decision is made whether to proceed with a public inquiry.
Mr. Johnston, I listened closely to your testimony today. You said that an inquiry would cost a little more and that it might take a little longer, but you also acknowledged the weak points of the approach you've adopted. You clearly said at the start of your testimony that foreign interference was real and constituted a threat to our democracy.
I believe the contradictions in your testimony are obvious to Canadians. Aren't you concerned that they will undermine the credibility of your approach, all the more so because parliamentarians don't agree and have voted differently?
