Mr. Chair, I'm a little confused. We're trying to move so quickly that we don't understand the purpose of the motion.
I think it is more important to invite the RCMP commissioner and public officials to shed light on the situation and explain things to us in detail than to invite the Minister of Public Safety and bombard him with questions.
It's not the minister who's going to have all the answers, but rather the department's representatives. Once we've heard their opinion and that of the commissioner, we'll be in a better position to ask the minister questions. At the moment, inviting the minister would be a little premature. We have neither enough details nor enough information about why things went wrong.
I would rather hear from public officials, people who will be able to answer our questions, rather than simply invite the minister to ask him questions, when he won't know all the details. I'm not saying he's not aware of the situation, but public officials will be better equipped to point us in the right direction. Their information and answers will enable us to meet with the minister later.
