Thank you very much.
I do have to say that there is a point to be made about decorum. You are chair, and it is very difficult for members of all parties to digest your own opinions on this committee. As you know, Chair—and I respect you immensely—being neutral and non-partisan on this committee is very important, and I really appreciate that my colleague has expressed his views. I have said time and again that when witnesses come before committees, they should be given the opportunity to respond to the questions that they are being asked.
This is not an interrogation. This is not an opportunity to grasp for whatever clips the opposition may want to fundraise off tomorrow or today. This is a fact-finding mission, as Monsieur Drouin clearly pointed out.
Chair, I would really expect you to do your job as chair, to be non-partisan and to ensure that there is decorum in how we operate as members and how we treat witnesses in this committee.
