Thank you, Chair.
I want to thank Mr. Nater for this motion. I believe it's an important piece of our work, and I think we have to invite Mr. Imraan Bashir in consideration of the questions we heard today from KPMG. He is the individual—we know that following my question about a discovery meeting—who actually met with GC Strategies at the time of contract discovery.
I think it is part and parcel of this work and very important to this work that we invite him, and I support the motion in principle.
The part that I'm confused about—I think we'll probably have to go to the subcommittee on it—is related to the witness being “scheduled to appear within seven days of the adoption of this motion.” We reviewed the calendar just yesterday morning, and we have scheduled a subcommittee meeting on Tuesday. I'd really seek your advice, Chair, on how you want to do this properly, considering that we have a draft agenda now.
This is an additional meeting request. We have only a few days. This motion demands “seven days of the adoption of this motion.” Would this mean that whatever work we've done to summon witnesses for our ArriveCAN meeting, this would join that list of witnesses for next week, or would this mean that we would have to postpone the meeting you intended to have for ArriveCAN next week?
I don't know how much work you've done on next week's meeting schedules and witness invitations before making this kind of decision. I'm sorry, Mr. Chair; I think you understand the procedural difficulty this presents.
