Mr. Speaker, that is a terrific point by my hon. colleague. Effectively, what the government is trying to do is to obstruct the ability of our parliamentary committee to have the national security adviser come and explain the same version of events that he did on that Sunday night to members of the media. That is all we are asking for. I think it is not too much to ask to get down to the truth. There are, as we say, conflicting versions of this story, but there is one version that does not make sense. It does not make sense because it did cause a large international incident with one of our closest allies, India.
All we are asking for is to get down to the bottom of this. As parliamentarians we have that privilege. However, it seems we do not have that privilege or we are seemingly seeing a government that is clear and intent on obstruction. Thirty hours of votes are about to come up, at a minimum. All we are asking for is one hour for our national security adviser to come and speak to the committee. The Liberals are willing to sacrifice 30 hours. What are they hiding? What are they covering up?
Let Mr. Jean come to committee and answer the rightful questions that parliamentarians can ask.
