Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We've seemingly overcome one issue that I thought would have put us on a new path towards actually living up to the mandate of this committee, but here we are again stuck in a situation where this committee has been politicized.
Before colleagues take the opportunity to accuse me of being repetitive, I just wish to draw attention because it has been a number of days since we did discuss this. It's a bit of a reminder, out of courtesy, Mr. Chair, to colleagues around the table, particularly for those on the opposition Conservative side who have brought this forward.
Let's remember what this motion calls for. Ultimately, the CRA would be asked to provide documents from one charity organization that, if one is familiar at all with the privacy provisions of the Income Tax Act, would in fact put public servants in a very difficult if not impossible position because they would be asked to break the law.
That's not a small point, Mr. Chair. I repeat—they would be asked to break the law.
