I thought MP Arya was bang on until he wrapped up his concluding paragraph, which was to neuter this. This individual, Staffieri, has stuffed and stonewalled this committee all year, three times. He has better things to do in his little office on Bloor Street than to come and be accountable to the people who represent all Canadians, and I've had enough. He needs to know the consequences of ignoring the summons again.
If he ignores it, he's going to be admonished and brought to the bar of the bloody House of Commons. I've had enough, and for the Liberals to go and say, oh no, let's give him a fourth chance, let's give him a fifth chance.... How many times do you have to be kicked in the you-know-what by this guy before you actually say you've had enough?
I've had enough. Yes, I'm bloody mad. I'm bloody mad that these guys are so contemptuous of Parliament that they're above it, earning their $10 million to $20 million a year; that they don't need to lower themselves to come here. The last time he was here, he lost his Zoom call, because he didn't have the guts to show up in person. And I dare him, when he's had a summons, to have the guts to show up here instead of sitting in his office in Toronto with his faulty Wi-Fi, which collapsed in the middle of the last time he was here. Thank God he had access to Bell's, I guess, because that's how he must have got back on the committee.
This is pathetic, and the fact that every member of Parliament and every Canadian isn't outraged at the arrogant nature of this individual, who refuses to be held accountable to Parliament, when Parliament gives him the spectrum that allows him to do what he does in overcharging Canadians. To remove this is, to me, the worst possible signal you could send to this individual.
