Mr. Chairman, I have not been convinced that an individual who has been appointed to represent the Queen, namely the Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec, is above the rules of ethics and transparency which usually guide us. No one in Canada is above these rules. I understand full well that this constitutes a breach of ethics, but it is essential that we obtain answers, because when we talk about respect for the position, we must also think about respect for the people.
In the final analysis, if the committee members were to give their unanimous consent to summon Ms. Thibault's administrative secretary to appear, I think that we would be in agreement with this subamendment.
