I'm definitely not “Doctor”. I know some lawyers who have gone to “juris doctor”, but I don't think we're bold enough to attempt even that.
This is a little disappointing. I'm old enough to remember when Conservatives cared about rural and remote communities, and we have witnesses here who are ready to testify and provide answers. I know Ms. Lewis represents a rural community, but she's close enough to Pearson, where I guess this doesn't matter.
What she has left out is that this has been under study by two other committees, so her pretense that this is urgent and shocking and hasn't been touched by Parliament before is a bit misleading. Even though Ms. Lewis acknowledges that the committee has received the resignation letter and a detailed summary of the projects and funds that Ms. Méthot oversaw during her time on the CIB board, her motion doesn't actually reflect that.
I really just want to hear from the witnesses. I know this committee has an agreement that studies go from party to party, and I believe the Conservative party is up next, but I believe this is best addressed by scheduling a committee business meeting. I'd like to hear from the witnesses today.
Therefore, I move that we adjourn debate, now that Ms. Lewis has her Facebook clip.
