Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I speak to the motion and I am not sanctioned. Mr. Chairman, I have questions very similar to what was expressed by other Members as to where do we go with Mr. Selleck from here. I do also have concerns as to what was expressed in the report and how serious the committee says that Mr. Selleck's testimony was needed, and how it may have helped resolve or provide some information to help the committee arrive at a decision. Then, to simply sweep him away, if he decides he does not want to come, I suggest, Mr. Chairman, that Mr. Selleck did not do this lightly.

The report suggests and states that he had counsel. I am not sure whether this means that CBC was in fact paying for that counsel, but it does bring into question whether Mr. Selleck was acting on his own or whether he had the support of CBC. So maybe the question is not so much Mr. Selleck as it is CBC. I am sure he was not acting alone. I have to give some credibility to Mr. Selleck and his professionalism. He is not a greenhorn reporter. He has been around for awhile. He has been in this type of situation before.

I have to give a lot of weight to the fact that we are simply going to walk away from this with no explanation from Mr. Selleck or the CBC. We are going to just let the item die. I believe that this is not the forum to follow up on it. I believe, like Mr. Bell suggested, there was opportunity and there is opportunity for other forums to follow up on this. It is not necessary that it be dealt with at this point in time.

On those grounds, I feel that the recommendation is not appropriate. It should not be part of this report. I am not supporting the motion. Thank you.
