Madam Speaker, I was eagerly waiting to hear what the hon. member had to say today because, quite frankly, I have not heard from him in quite some time. If there is one positive outcome for him here, perhaps it is that he has finally had a chance to speak. As a proponent of freedom of speech, I am glad he has that ability here today.
I do have to ask the hon. member a question because I know he is from Calgary, but it appears the signal is not quite getting to the hill. Did he not watch committee? Does he not understand that I was actually the one who uncovered this in the first place? There is this whole nonsense about this being about us, but why does he not just come clean with his base, stop misleading them, stop banking on the stupidity of the base and come clean with the fact it is them holding us up in the House? It can go to committee. It can be dealt with.
Does he have the integrity and the courage to at least be honest with his base?
