Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Once again, I find it shocking that I get interrupted. We need to underscore the importance of the ridiculous nature of the amendment that's proposed here. People died, and for a government to use this for political gain is absolutely shocking. This committee does not want to undertake any type of action to remediate the situation, which has clearly changed, when now we know very clearly that Mr. Campbell's notes pointed out what Commissioner Lucki said and what Minister Blair said.
Now we have a transcript of a meeting, which also corroborates that, and we have other testimony from the Mass Casualty Commission, which corroborates all three of these things going together, to have an understanding of exactly what happened.
We have an unbelievably clear picture here. For this committee not to want to undertake having those members back again is shocking. It's a slap in the face. It's a disservice, and it's an apolitical move towards the people in my riding. Quite frankly, it's an affront to democracy.
I can't understand how anybody could sit here and not want to understand very clearly, when new evidence has come forward, exactly what is happening here.
Once again, I can't understand this at all. This type of amendment to a very simple motion to have the major players return to a committee that has tried to understand this unbelievable political interference for many meetings now certainly, in my mind, is not enough to assuage the concerns of people in the riding of Cumberland—Colchester.
When you look at that, you know what? People from Nova Scotia don't want excuses anymore. They want answers, and they're not getting answers from the Mass Casualty Commission. Another affront to their goodwill and solitude is this committee, which, again, does not want to provide them with any answers about what happened at a political level.
I just can't understand how anybody on the opposite side could want to vote against this.
