Mr. Speaker, it is my understanding that the federal court said that the panel should not continue its hearings until the allegations of bias are dealt with by the federal court. I think that is an approach which is understandable. It does not mean that the panel will not continue. We do not know what the results will be. Let us wait to hear what the court says.
Also, the government has no authority under the law to stop the public complaints commission from carrying out the work given it by parliament. I do not know why the hon. member insists on interfering on the floor of the House with the work of the commission.
