The only witness the member has brought up is the Prime Minister. That in and of itself, I think, makes it abundantly clear there is a serious effort under way to try to politicize this issue, which is an important one and one that we all have a stake in. That speaks for itself.
It was also admitted that if people did come before this committee, it would be a flawed process. Why would we want to engage in a flawed process? I don't think our responsibility here as members of this committee is to say, “Oh, well. We know it's not going to be thorough.” If it is going to be thorough, then surely you'd have to acknowledge that we would have to bring journalists in here.
For those reasons, everything that I've heard from the members here makes me think that the right decision is obviously to vote against this motion.
I defer to members who speak from experience on this issue. Of course, I'm referring to Mr. Casey. This has happened in the past. It's very unfortunate, and there is no doubt in my mind that new safeguards will be placed by our government to make sure it doesn't happen going into the future.
Thank you.
