Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I just need to have on record the fact that it wasn't disrespectful of the witnesses. I did stay behind. I was told that there was no meeting, so I stayed behind because I wanted to hear from that one gentleman. I did a lot of reading on him, and talking about absurd, that was the information he was bringing forward. I wanted to hear it with my own ears.
I think each one of us has a responsibility when witnesses come to have them talk on topic. I think that as Mr. Julian brought the witness, he should inform his witnesses to stay on topic.
It's not disrespectful of the discussion—we have information all around—if we have an informal discussion, whether it's inside the room or outside the room. It's not an official meeting and you don't have it on record. So I think the member from Quebec should understand that it wasn't disrespectful that I stayed behind...and get the facts, and don't let the facts interfere with the truth.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
