Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I am not too clear. We have five motions here. I am just wondering, by dealing with them individually, because they do have repercussions on each other. Also, with regard to the conclusion, the committee is basically asking for more time to do an in-depth review.
I was not party to the hearings or to the committee. There has to be more discussion around these different motions as they are laid out, because it is still cloudy as to where we go from here. By simply passing these motions, it is concluded, but on the other hand with the report being read out, what I heard is that it seems like they are asking for an extension or more time to wrap up this whole process.
Simply by Mrs. Groenewegen withdrawing that application, does that unilaterally conclude the debate on that aspect, or are we still dealing with the relevancy of the complaint that was filed against the Commissioner? I feel once you file a complaint, it is a serious allegation. I think that by simply withdrawing the application, it does not end there.
My concern is whether this is going to go on forever and a day just because of doing these different motions? I was hoping we would have a chance to ask questions or respond to what is in the report. By simply jumping into the motions, I do not think it does justice to the Members who were not party to the process.
I for one feel that it is not over. This process is going to go on for another couple of months. After going through the inquiry in the 13th Assembly, now this, I think there are some serious allegations being raised in the context of this report, and I think that we as Members in the eyes of the public, we cannot be seen to do one thing one day and then take it back the next day and it is a done deal.
I feel that now with what is being stated here and the statements made on this matter, it is going to eventually possibly blow up into a full-fledged public review. When you challenge people that we have put in place, regardless of who they are, we give them the responsibility to do their jobs. We cannot make an allegation one day and stop someone from doing their job and the next day come back and say "I withdraw it because I made a mistake."
There is going to be more to this than what is being concluded. I was hoping to ask the chair of the committee exactly what was meant by asking for more time to conclude whatever work they were unable to conclude within this time frame.
