Madam Speaker, the member opposite has raised a number of points today. He said this legislation should go to committee, and obviously there is a process for that, but first it is important that all members in this place get a chance to share their initial thoughts on it, not just the parliamentary committee. The initial thoughts I have heard time and time again today from the Conservatives are that the Prime Minister will appoint the chair—and we know that has already happened—that there is going to be a majority of Liberal members on this committee, that they will examine what the Prime Minister wants, and that the committee itself will report to the Prime Minister and not to Parliament.
My question is simple. Does the member opposite believe that this is parliamentary oversight, or is it oversight by the Prime Minister?
