Senator Cowan, I know what you are doing here, but the fact of the matter is that you, as Leader of the Opposition, and I, as the Leader of the Government in the Senate, are not or should not be directing or instructing any committee in the Senate how they should proceed.
Sénateur Cowan, je sais ce que vous faites, mais il demeure que ni vous, leader de l'opposition, ni moi, leader du gouvernement, ne dictons ni ne devrions dicter sa conduite à quelque comité sénatorial que ce soit.
