Mr. Speaker, I should have said where there is a will, there is a lawyer, but in this particular case, let us hope not.
I point to the example of the finance committee. The finance committee has conducted pre-budget hearings annually for probably the last 10 or 15 years. The witness list stretches to 300 or 400 witnesses over the course of about three months.
Where there is a will, there is a way. A special committee would presumably have sufficient time.
I do not consider the legislative drafting to be all that difficult. We would be amending the Criminal Code; we do that each and every day. I would be very surprised if the Minister of Justice has not already received several draft responses from his officials to look over. Compliance with charter issues is extremely important.
There is an ability to do this if there is a will do it. If we fail to do it, we are letting down 100% of Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, the Conservative government's passion for secrecy is legendary. First it deceived Canadians with a so-called $10 billion accounting error. Then it refused to release the statement of requirements. It then said that there was a contract and then said that there was no contract. Then, when MPs may wish to examine ministers and other witnesses about the F-35, it shuts down the committee.
When will the Conservative government commit to govern with transparency rather than stealth?
