Oh, I thought we'd be friends, Mr. Harris. I'm surprised that you would go after me.
It's pretty simple. We've had a number of committees from which government members have walked out. In the last Parliament, a number of committees were shut down because government members walked out. There has not been, in the three Parliaments at which I have been present, a single committee meeting at which opposition members have refused to hear from witnesses. Not a single time has that happened, so that's not the problem.
The problem has been that systematically, because of that 200-page manual, you have Conservative members walking out and shutting down hearings. And so unfortunately, because of bad behaviour in the past, yes, we have as opposition members to make sure that the people's business is done. I think it's incumbent on Conservative members to prove that in this committee they don't have the intention of trying to shut things down.
