Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It is inconceivable. In fact, it really raises a serious question as to the intent of this question of privilege brought forth by Mr. Nicholls. Mr. Nicholls, in my opinion, has the audacity to bring before this committee a question of privilege on something that a member of the media has written.
Mr. Proussalidis, like all members of the media, like all media outlets, has the absolute right, as part of the responsibilities of his job, to comment on the news and to give his opinion on matters. He has the absolute right to question, sometimes to speculate, depending on how they feel. At no time do we have any right to question what the media says or does not say. This is not a question of privilege.
