Mr. Chair, it is not my responsibility to inform the other political parties. I apologize sincerely, and I will just tell you what happened.
I already spoke over the phone to the Conservative and Liberal whips. This is an agreement that we reached when we struck the committees and when we had to decide if they were going to be made up of 11, 12 or 15 people. The political parties agreed on the makeup of the committees. However, the week before the parliamentary recess, there was an incident during one of the meetings. A committee member stated that according to the rules, he was not required to listen to the person. Then, the Conservative whip said that he was going to settle the question. So it's supposed to be settled.
I don't want to say any more, I just wanted to tell you what happened. That's why I asked the whips, as soon as that happened, to clarify things with their members and their committees. If they have arguments to bring forward, they should do so within their political party.
