I have a point of order.
I very clearly understood the remarks by Mr. Williams earlier, who referred to the Library of Parliament documents. Mr. Pelletier wants to know on what specific page that appears in the Library of Parliament document. I remind you of the wording of the motion agreed to by this committee on May 9, 2007. I'm going to read it to you.
That the following key witnesses, Jean-Marc Bard, Jean Pelletier and Charles Guité be invited to reappear before this committee to explain themselves on the apparent contradictions in the testimonies given to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Accounts during the hearings on the November 2003 report of the Auditor General as well as testimonies before the Gomery Commission.
Mr. Chairman, Mr. Laforest was clear. Mr. Pelletier stated that on April 6, 2004, and he made another statement before the Gomery Commission on February 7, 2005, which appears on page 12,485. The pagination problem you referred to is real and serious. However, we have before us the date on which that was said. It is as though you didn't say it to me when I was sitting on the Standing Committee on Public Accounts. So I repeat that it was February 7, 2005 and that it appears on page 12,485.
Mr. Chairman, given the wording of the motion that the committee agreed to, it is not true that we are going to rely solely on Library of Parliament documents. There are contradictions. The Library of Parliament service, which is very competent, may not have found or seen certain elements. On the other hand, we have found some.
Now I understand why Mr. Williams wanted to ensure that was filed. It is not true that we will prevent ourselves from moving forward if we find other contradictions. I would like to settle that at the outset.
