The amendment makes a presumption about political orientation. All of this is happening in the wake of a CBC/Radio-Canada report. Personally, I have never heard of this situation. Perhaps it is simply because it has never come up. According to me, the list of witnesses I am submitting will allow us to shed light on the situation. It would be amply sufficient to be apprised of the position of the previous government and that of the current one. If later we feel it is opportune we can convene others, but currently I think that with our four witnesses we will be able to answer that question.
