Thank you very much, Chair.
I find it quite telling that we are receiving this surprise motion after the House has risen for the summer and after there has been a consistent and blatant attempt to malign and disregard our public service and corrode the value of our democratic institutions. I say this because of the text of the motion and the language the Conservatives continue to use, day in and day out, in saying the Liberals did this, the Liberal government did that. The reality of the matter is that the majority of these folks were appointed by their government 10 years ago.
