Mr. Speaker, I think these remarks are totally uncalled for. If the information that was given to me is correct, this was a study under Standing Order 108(2) by which a committee is master of its own destiny. It obviously did the job as it saw fit. I think the hon. member, as all members do, should respect that members of Parliament have that kind of freedom in committee, at least on our side of the House, although perhaps not on his.
In the House of Commons on April 1st, 2003. See this statement in context.
