Mr. Speaker, I always enjoy hearing my colleague.
Of course the NDP wants to get to the bottom of the issue. We do believe in supporting the original motion and in calling the gentleman in question before the bar to answer questions. Canadians deserve to have answers.
I am a bit perplexed, though, and I want to ask my colleague for his reaction. There has been a principle, when Parliament calls people before the bar, that there is a fair distribution among the recognized parties in the House. That is certainly how it was when Mr. Firth appeared before the bar.
The Conservatives have just tabled a motion in which, after paying lip service in the first round to the equality in Parliament's calling the individual before the bar, they are now proposing to take two-thirds of all of the subsequent questions. That is unbelievable to me, particularly given the Conservatives' history of cover-ups during the Harper regime. There was unbelievable corruption and scandals, all of which were covered up by Conservatives.
Does the parliamentary secretary think it is appropriate that Conservatives try to take two-thirds of the questions, when the process should involve all members of Parliament?
