Mr. Speaker, this is one of the most curious questions yet in the House. The hon. member asks me to look at the evidence before the committee that the committee itself is meant to evaluate. He wants me to substitute my opinion for that of 17 good members of Parliament whose job it was to examine the evidence.
If he and his party believe that the members of parties on a committee should be ignored, not considered, and that I should go directly to those who speak to them, that is an extraordinary approach for a member of the House.
