Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think it's important that we go back to the actual motion that was introduced, probably 45 minutes ago, which reads, “The committee report to the House its grave concern about apparent reprisals against witnesses following their testimony on the ArriveCAN app.” That is the motion.
What we have heard from the Liberals and the NDP is anything but the importance and urgency of this particular matter. The House needs to have this matter before it so that all parliamentarians have a chance to speak to it.
Ms. Shanahan uses comments about urgency, how important this is and how we want to telegraph to Canadians that we're taking this seriously—we take our jobs seriously. However, she's forgotten exactly what happened on October 12 when the Auditor General appeared. After the entire Liberal bench was embarrassed, as well as the NDP, the Auditor General....
Ms. Shanahan, you can laugh all you want, but Canadians are watching me. They're watching you laugh at me, and it's not a good look.
You, your party and the NDP deliberately shut down the ability of the Auditor General to answer questions for a two-hour period.
