Madam Speaker, I have had a brief opportunity to work with my colleague on the justice committee. When I joined the committee, I was told about the great bipartisanship that occurred and the good work it has done.
There was a real juxtaposition between what has happened at the justice committee and hearing from my colleague, who is the vice-chair of the committee, and hearing from the Conservative vice-chair as well, that what has transpired since this issue came before the justice committee is a great departure from what they have known and the atmosphere and the character of those other members. This is not about their character, and it is not about what usually happens. It is a marked departure from that, and it very clearly is the effect of PMO interference in the independence of that committee.
