As a member of the steering committee, it was clearly understood—whether it was a motion, I don't know—since we began the RCMP pension scandal hearings that the steering committee would meet every Monday for the purposes of doing business. This is the first one that has been cancelled. It just happened to come around the same time that we were dealing with Borys' motion and Mr. Laforest's motion. It raised a lot of questions about why that meeting was set aside.
Might I also say—I'll be brief—that had we had that meeting, all that we've done today would have been gone over at least once by representatives of each caucus and that we may not have had this free-for-all.
I think it's fair for you to give us an explanation of why we didn't have that steering committee, sir.
