Again, why are we doing this study if the Conservatives have already made up their minds? They are not interested in investigating this stuff. They are using words like “corrupt”. Obviously, they're calling me corrupt and blah, blah, blah. It's simply that they're not interested in making this a study. They're not interested in the words of the Auditor General. They're not interested in what the commissioner of the RCMP said. They're not interested. All they're interested in—we saw it yesterday, again.... Mr. Genuis laughed at me the other day. They are treating this committee like their own little private Facebook studio, and it's a shame.
Have some decency for democracy—just a bit.
Sometimes I wish the kids in short pants on this committee would grow up. Some of them have and some of them haven't.
Mr. Chair, I would love to hear from the opposition about my proposition to sign a 106(4). We can do it right now and come back next week. We can spend a full day talking about this. I'm sure you'd love to come back, too, Mr. Chair. I know you would. The tactics you've used today.... I want to warn you that we have a lot of chairs who can do the same thing to other members. The precedent you have set for other committees is completely uncalled for. You're not being respectful of everybody's time on this particular committee. Tom Lukiwski would never have done that. I'm not sure who's running the show now, but they obviously have no respect for members of Parliament.
I'm close. I'll be here next week. I don't mind coming here. I can spend a week. I'm sure we can come back on Thanksgiving Monday, if you like. I'm here. I'm ready. I'm still not hearing the opposition say they want to sign a 106(4). This proves how dedicated they are to this particular cause.
