Madam Speaker, I did not plan to partake in this debate, but I want to rise and give the hon. member credit. He is the first Conservative, all term, who has been able to count. He referenced the fact that we were in a confidence and supply agreement for three years. Normally, the Conservatives would like to pretend that it has been nine years. That is not the case. If he followed Hansard correctly and watched what transpired at committee, he would know that it was our interventions that led us to the revelation that the president and the chair of the board were in a conflict of interest. In particular, it was my participation at ETHI.
It was not their work. This is not something they discovered. This is something that the opposition discovered collectively using the committee process, which is exactly what we are trying to do right now.
Will the hon. member allow this to go to committee to do the good work so that all the Conservative backbenchers can finally get a chance to speak?
