Mr. Tilson, I'd like to raise a question of privilege.
Considering the work of Mr. Daniel Proussalidis of the QMI Agency, I'm sure this information hasn't been provided to the committee. Mr. Proussalidis wrote a piece on June 17 and submitted it at 4:57 p.m. to the public. The piece of Daniel Proussalidis casts the work of this committee in a negative light—and the chair as well.
As you know, Chair, the integrity of this committee is very important. The work of all the committees of the House should be cast in a fair light by the media, as they are the ones who directly impart ideas of the committee to the public, and the public learns of our work from media sources. Now, in the view that this integrity is important, Mr. Proussalidis has stated such things as the committee's work is “frustrating” you, Mr. Chair; that you have “snapped” at committee members; and that you have “cut off” debate.
