Mr. Speaker, it is not up to the Leader of the Opposition or the Prime Minister to decide what the committees will do.
Committees are masters of their own agenda and they will make their own decisions. For 10 years, we saw the Conservatives, under Harper, do all they could to control committees. However, on this side of the House we respect the independence of committees. We know that committee members make their own decisions.
That is a principle of our democracy that we respect but that they disregard.
