Thank you, Chair.
I would be remiss if I didn't join the rest of my colleagues in offering congratulations as well, sir. You're in for the ride of your life.
I want to keep my comments brief. I understand I'm the last speaker on the list, unless someone raises their hand.
I've listened very carefully to everything my colleagues have said, and I want to underscore the importance of this being not only important and an issue that needs to be fully examined at this committee but also urgent.
As my colleague Mr. Cooper has alluded to, I share the same view that the Ethics Commissioner's report was narrowly focused. It underscores what we have heard by way of various reports in national media that the level of corruption with this Justin Trudeau government and how they misuse taxpayer money is merely the tip of the iceberg. There's not a day that goes by that I don't hear from followers on my social media who are thanking the opposition parties, particularly the Conservatives—and it's Conservatives, not “Cons”, to correct the characterization by Mr. Badawey—
