Mr. Speaker, in a response he gave earlier to my colleague from Saint‑Hyacinthe—Bagot—Acton, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government said how important House of Commons committees are, going so far as to say that we can read everything that is said in committee because it is all on the committee's web page and, as parliamentarians, we have access to all the work done by committees, even if we do not sit on them.
I find it rather ironic that the parliamentary secretary is telling us how important parliamentary committees are when the Liberals do not even respect the work that was done by all the parliamentarians who were present, regardless of party, and by all the people who came to testify.
I want to know what my colleague thinks of the Liberals' conception of parliamentary democracy and committee work, especially as it relates to us today.
