Mr. Speaker, I have the great pleasure of serving with the member on the environment committee, and it is an honour to serve with him. He talks about transparency. I would say that we have done so in a number of ways. We have waived solicitor-client privilege and cabinet confidence so that the member for Vancouver Granville could speak to this issue at the justice committee.
I believe there is a very clear route for information to get out. We also have the Ethics Commissioner investigating this. He has absolute authority to compel witnesses under oath to speak as well as to have documents brought forward for the investigation.
Over the course of the next few weeks, we will have a lot of information. I think the best way for us to have a public inquiry is to have the public make a decision about the information they hear and make their own conclusions.
