I'll go back to the original comment I made that the nature of parliamentary committees is partisan. You have a Liberal side; you have a Conservative side. You all prep for these meetings. You have, of course, the NDP and the Bloc. I thought a better forum for this was the Hogue commission. It's a non-partisan commission looking at foreign intervention.
My worry about being asked to come here was that I didn't want to answer questions that were partisan in nature, because my role as mayor of Brampton is non-partisan. We have a good relationship with all of our federal MPs in Brampton and all of our MPPs. They come from different parties, and we pride ourselves on having good relationships.
