I have just a very quick question, Mr. Speaker. The hon. member mentioned the parity between a member of Parliament or someone in the government and the band executive.

I am assuming that the spirit of his speech was about a band member walking into the band executive and saying, “Show me the books”.

Would the hon. member allow that very same person specifically to walk into his office and say that he wanted to open the books? Would the hon. member open the books of all of his expenses in his office to that person?

See context to find out what was said next.
