I'd like to respond to what Mr. Komarnicki said. First, I'm proud to be a member of the Bloc Québécois. We definitely will not be doing anything that is not ethical.
I'm not here to question my own assistant. I'm also here for all the witnesses as a whole. I only have five minutes to speak with the witnesses, and I believe I can find relevant questions for the committee and for all the other witnesses.
I asked to be here, on an exceptional basis, to question the witnesses over the two hours of the meeting. I can act very well. It was not my intention to question Mr. Desrosiers, but I am proud that Mr. Desrosiers has agreed to testify because it is often said that political staff may not testify.
The Conservatives engage in systematic obstruction when we ask the people around them to come and testify. I am proud to say that my assistant has come today and you will have all the leeway to ask him any questions you want to ask him.
