For the very reason that Mr. Jean brings up, this senior civil servant has a right to have his side of the story heard by us. I will remind the committee that I made a point of getting on the record at the last meeting that I thought it behooved us to do so. I don't believe that 10 minutes will do this matter justice. I think it's important to have precision when we do that. I don't have with me the exact comments and the allegations that were made. I think this motion is premature and it should not be carried by this committee.
