 I wasn't going to continue, Mr. Chair, but now that you've given me the floor again, I'm taking it. Perhaps the MP should consider that part of a justice system is a properly funded justice system. We've seen in the past few years questions of the independence of that prosecution, and now we see questions about resourcing the ability for them to be able to hold companies accountable. I think 100% that this is not relitigating something; this is us holding the government to account for its resourcing.
Mr. Chair, I would appreciate it if the member would allow me to have my piece and raise legitimate points of order in the future.

I just have a bit of background. The idea was to have departmental officials appear last. Normally the departmental officials appear at the beginning, but Ms. Collins thought it would be a good idea, and the committee agreed, that they appear last.
The clerk deals with someone in the department, a public servant, to determine who will appear for the department. The excellent witnesses we have today were suggested by the department. To my knowledge, nobody invited anyone from the Public Prosecution Service of Canada. I don't think any member of the committee suggested that we do that.
There was someone by the name of McCready—I forget the first name and I apologize—who was basically replaced here today by Ms. Pelletier. Ms. Pelletier has been briefed. Ms. Pelletier, I imagine, was in the office all along.
You weren't brought in by an outside department, were you? Have you always been working in this office?

I have a correction. Heather McCready was the director general for environmental enforcement. She was replaced by Donald Walker.

So the only person whose perspective we would not have 100% or 95% would be Mr. Boudreau. Is that correct?
Mr. Walker has Ms. McCready's perspective.

Emile Boudreau was the investigating officer, but he was in touch with me. I received regular updates from him through the entirety of the case. On that basis, I understand the key aspects of the investigation and can relay them here.

Okay. What it boils down to is the witnesses we have today were recommended by the public service as the most relevant, and we were never asked to bring in anyone from the Public Prosecution Service.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Directly to that point, if you look in the motion it says, including the investigation and charging of Volkswagen. I asked very specific questions about charging, and we know that the Public Prosecution office is responsible for that.
ECCC gives their investigations and recommendations, but ultimately the Public Prosecution office charges.

Mr. Chair, I'm a new committee member clarifying. Since joining the committee I have been asked to submit witness names for upcoming studies and recommendations and so on. Also, in line with the motions for the proposed studies, we can offer whom we want.
Just to clarify that the member didn't specifically ask for PPSC—
