Mr. Speaker, there is an inquiry.
I am happy that the gentleman did his job properly when he was there. He was rewarded with a decoration for the work he performed. He should not jeopardize the services rendered because there is an inquiry at this time. He should not try to politicize the issue.
At this moment what is important is to go with the inquiry, let the commissioners ask the questions, get the answers, weigh the pros and cons of every testimony and render a judgment. It is not for anybody in the House of Commons to decide matters which are discussed in front of an inquiry and prejudge the conclusion. That would show a complete lack of respect for the commissioners who are doing a difficult job.
