That's fine. I don't think he interrupted me, Mr. Chair, but I appreciate you raising the point as a matter of respect. That's very kind of you. You're always kind.
I was talking about how we as members of Parliament have an ability to question the government and regularly put forward our points of view, because we are, in the first place, members of Parliament. Yes, we belong to parties, but we have our own minds, as Mr. Housefather raised today and as he's demonstrated in other committees. He's made reference to that. Frankly, he's not giving himself enough credit, because he is exactly that: He represents his constituents very well. He comes to the table regularly prepared, in all meetings. I've worked with him for seven years. He asks tough questions, not just of the opposition, public servants or deputy ministers, in particular, when they make a point he disagrees with, but also of members of the government.
We have a willingness, on our side, to go back to PSPC in this case and ask for their perspective on the entire issue of NDAs in just a few days. The obligation would be that they have to return with an answer to our question. We could then take that up as a committee.
I think one of my colleagues has something to say as well. It's Ms. Shanahan or Ms. Bradford.
