During the Conservative caucus's Christmas party on the Senate side, in December of 2012, which was just before I appeared before the subcommittee of Internal Economy, I had a private discussion with Senator Tkachuk, and I asked him why it was that only I and Senator Harb at the time were going to appear before the subcommittee.
Lors de la fête de Noël organisée par les sénateurs du caucus conservateur, en décembre 2012, soit juste avant ma comparution devant le sous-comité de la régie interne, je me suis entretenu en privé avec le sénateur Tkachuk.
