That's exactly my point, Mr. Chair. We can throw whatever spaghetti at the wall—I would have used another term, but I know it's not parliamentary—to see if it sticks enough. Has it cooked enough? Have we found out enough things that we can perhaps add as sauce to the spaghetti that may or may not stick to the wall? The reality of the matter is that there are so many people who support us in these committee meetings; there are so many resources that go into these committee meetings.
There have been phenomenal reports by the Auditor General that hold the government to account that are pending our review, that are pending our recommendations, yet here we are, meeting after meeting, chasing after geese. I don't think that's appropriate, Mr. Chair. I think we need to do better things with how we conduct ourselves. If there is an RCMP investigation, let the independent RCMP conduct its investigation. It's not like we're going anywhere. We're right here. We'll come back to it if that needs to be a point to come back to.
At this point in time, why do we continue to waste our time? Why do we continue to try to pressure this committee through these motions that are redundant, that we hear again and again with the same topic again and again and that don't lead anywhere? They literally don't get us to where we need to go.
Mr. Chair, I would encourage my Conservative colleagues to withdraw their motion and maybe come back to it once we've heard from all of the witnesses who are on the list. Maybe we can come back to it once we've realized that the RCMP has done whatever investigation it needs to do. This makes no sense to me at this point in time. I don't think our committee should be spending any more taxpayer dollars going through this process. I don't think that our committee should be wasting any of its precious time going through this process.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
