In terms of the speculation from the other side, we're talking about a downgrade in Mr. Fife's article from two anonymous sources to one. If you listened to the CBC last week with Carol Off, it was very clear in her interview with Mr. Fife in which he said there was no link whatsoever between legitimate conversations between the attorney general and government colleagues and the fact that Ms. Wilson-Raybould's cabinet responsibilities changed. He could make no link whatsoever. So anyone who is making that link is engaging in rank speculation.
I will also reiterate that the Ethics Commissioner is looking into this issue, and the people you would like to add to this list are perfectly within the purview of the Ethics Commissioner to investigate and to call to account, to use your language. Our job here is to take a look at the substance of the matter, which is clearly the Shawcross doctrine and the remediation agreements.
Let's take a look at what you're wanting Canadians to see as a smoking gun. If SNC-Lavalin had ended up in remediation, then okay, you'd have something. But guess what? They're going to trial. Are you really serious? Are you trying to make Canadians make that kind of link?
It didn't work the way you'd like the fiction to play out, folks, so I will be voting against this amendment and looking forward to meeting with people next week.
