Let me step in, Mr. Fragiskatos.
There was a ping, Mr. Desjarlais, that if you were not over the line, you were very close to it. I understand your frustration. You've always conducted yourself at this committee with both passion and a very good nature. I believe that will continue.
Throwing the word “lie” out there is not parliamentary language. Your correction on that was appreciated. I would ask that you would just maintain the decorum you always have, and we would continue with the questions.
I know everyone around this committee room is seized with this issue. Canadians across the country think it is outrageous, as you do. We might lack the personal experience that you embody and bring to this table. The fact that we have the deputy minister here, answering questions, is a testament to the government's commitment to this on behalf of all Canadians.
I would just ask you not impute motive on the deputy minister and conduct yourself as you always have.
I thought we'd moved off from that last point. I hope we continue to do that.
