I don't want the issue of the member for Beauce to become a personal matter, but I think that the defence committee is going to lose a great deal of credibility. Given that this will be noted in the minutes, I want our message to be the following: in the case at hand, the Liberal members will abstain from voting as a protest. We'll let it go this time, but we find today's situation unacceptable.
