Thanks, Chair.
I don't want to belabour the point. I think it's just a bad precedent from a parliamentary procedure perspective to have something like this in a motion when something exists in the Standing Orders. There are bad optics in telling potential witnesses that if they don't show up they'll get an arrest warrant against them. I mean, it's just not how we function in our system, in our Parliament.
I'm looking beyond this particular study. I just don't like the precedent, just as I stated about the precedent of requiring the witnesses to take an oath. I mean, that's not the message we send when they're appearing before a parliamentary committee.
In any case, I just wanted to get that off my chest. I've made my point. I suggest that in the interest of time—it's taken up almost 90 minutes now—with only two votes left, if we could take the two votes together, we could move on with our day and start preparing for the study.
Thank you.
