I have a couple of comments, Mr. Chairman.
One, I've raised this before, and I'm going to raise it again. I'm going to ask if you, as chair, and the clerk can stipulate that any witness or any member of the committee who intends to use e-mail, or any other documentation, deposit it with the clerk, have it translated, and circulate it in a form so that we can readily find it when they're making reference to it during a committee hearing.
We are totally at a loss. We're at sea when it comes to quotes of e-mails, and we have no idea what's going on. I would ask you and the clerk to sit down and ensure that witnesses provide the information in advance. You're in a position to have it circulated to all members.
The other point I want to make, Mr. Chairman, is that we have one member of the committee giving all kinds of information to a member of the steering committee. I would have thought most of the work as to who is coming forward would be hashed out at the steering committee. The steering committee can come forward to say who they recommend and why, without an interrogation of members back and forth across the table on who is coming forward and for what reason.
I know Mr. Wrzesnewskyj has a great wealth of information on this, and I'd ask him to share it with the steering committee. He should give his documentation to the clerk so that we can continue this in the most professional way that we can.
As has been pointed out, reputations are being besmirched. There are accusations and allegations of perjury and whatever else is going on around here. We have to try to manage ourselves in the most professional and most efficient manner possible so that we can do a good service to the RCMP and the people of Canada as we continue this awkward and difficult investigation.
