Thank you, Chair.
It is always inspiring to see the gymnastics that my colleagues across the way engage in to try to avoid accountability. I'm sure none of them are being intentionally misleading, but they may have received some faulty information.
The ethics committee is not undertaking anything like a stand-alone study on what happened to the Trudeau Foundation. They are merely including—from what I understand—two witnesses from the Trudeau Foundation to comment on their broader look at election interference. That is very different from what I think is required here, which is an investigation of what happened to the Trudeau Foundation. No parliamentary committees conduct investigations. They seek to answer important questions about public expenditure and the activities and responsibilities of government institutions.
If we're going to see another one-and-a-half-hour gymnastics show from the government's side, then so be it. I'm very proud to be supporting this motion, and I think it's appropriate. It fits squarely within the mandate of this committee and the work required to get to the bottom of what happened at the Trudeau Foundation.
