Madam Speaker, in the vein of The Simpsons, I would like to thank Montgomery Burns for asking that question. I prefer the character of Homer Simpson to the Prime Minister any day, too, by the way.
We are talking about $110 million in contracts. We are talking about seven civil suits that have been engaged against the former minister's company, a sworn affidavit in which he has been named by the person who is filing the lawsuit and a criminal investigation, which I touched upon in my speech. This is about having Mr. Anderson come to the bar and, once and for all, our finding out the truth, not just from Mr. Anderson but also from the former minister. We need to get to the bottom of this.
I know that the former minister has stepped down. I am giving him an opportunity, through the amendment, to face his accuser before the House. This is about the integrity of this place and the power of committees to compel witnesses.
