Today, we are trying to obtain specific information. If, at a committee, we ask what services the minister's team provides to other members in general, that is one thing; but if we attempt to obtain information on a particular member, that is something else. We are not authorized to do that here. Questioning the minister on particular cases is not part of the committee's mandate. We are wasting time and, unfortunately, we are using the minister's time poorly even though we have important matters to discuss.
If the member across the way wants to obtain more information on a member and the use of specific resources, she may make a written request outside of the committee. The fact is that she's preventing the rest of the committee from working while we should be discussing important immigration issues that are of concern to Canada. We are not here to discuss former member Mr. Grewal's particular case. He is no longer an MP. I find it regrettable that we are wasting other members' time and that of the minister and his team, despite the fact that we are facing certain situations in Canada.
I am somewhat surprised by Ms. Rempel's behaviour, as she is really concerned with immigration matters in Canada and sometimes makes judicious interventions in the House on that topic. Today, we have the opportunity of moving the immigration file forward and allowing Canadians to understand what the government is doing in that area. And yet, the member is not using her speaking time to do that.
I am going to stop here. I could go on at length and waste everyone's time, but I don't want to do that. I have questions for the minister so that we can move the immigration file forward. I would like my colleague to do the same.
