Mr. Speaker, I just have one quick comment in reference to my colleague's speech.
He referred to staff being ordered to testify before they are even invited, but I know that at the defence committee, Ms. Zita Astravas has been invited, but we are having trouble getting hold of her. That concerns me because she is currently employed as the chief of staff to the Minister of Public Safety, a vital position, I think we can all agree. When she will not answer that invitation, I think it maybe does drive this forward.
My question actually goes back to the WE Charity. It is a question I have not been able to get an answer to from anybody. I still do not understand why the WE Charity pulled out of the program in the first place. If everything it was doing was legitimate and above-board, then I do not understand why it pulled out. Was it the government that stopped the program, or was it the WE Charity that pulled out of it on its own? If so, was the only reason they had to stop the program that the Prime Minister and the former minister of finance, Bill Morneau, failed to recuse themselves?
