Mr. Chair, we have to be very careful when we have witnesses in front of this committee. I was not at all, until today, familiar with the Canadian Constitution Foundation. I was never a member of the Reform Party. It is a federally registered charity, and under Canadian law it must be non-partisan. I think we should be very careful about questioning the non-partisan nature of organizations that appear in front of committee that are federally registered charities.
These witnesses appear in front of us, and I've never heard of this organization before. I don't think there's anything wrong in asking questions about where the funding comes from, or who the members of the organization are, but I think we have to be very careful about implying that it may not be non-partisan in nature.
So I would urge caution to members of this committee with respect to that line of questioning.
