Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to Mr. Bachrach for raising this issue, particularly as we did hear, of course, from the victims' families just a couple of days ago about their feeling that they needed something more, which they termed a “public inquiry”.
Quite honestly, I've given this a lot of thought over the last two days. I looked at the briefing notes that we received about activities, such as the U.S. congressional hearings, activities in the U.S. and the fact that we, as a committee, have been looking at this issue now since January. I think we've all been asking pretty searching questions. I really feel that we have enough information. I feel that a public inquiry really couldn't add any particular value.
We've been meeting in public. Our deliberations have been public. The testimony has been frank and I think very informative. In essence, I'm saying that I don't see that there's going to be any particular added value at this point in accordance with Mr. Bachrach's motion.
