Mr. Speaker, I am not suggesting for a second that at any point there may not be a need to change laws.
However, I think it is totally correct to say that we abide by the laws that are there. If the laws change then those laws go into place. In this case there is no credibility in the whole process that is taking place because the law that is in place is not being recognized by one of those offers. It is the process that is the problem. It is going outside the realm of the law.
If the law should change and there is a bid that comes in to that effect, so be it, but that is not the case here. There are too many things that are inconsistent here and leave some question as to whether there has been some influence that is not in the best public interest.
