Thanks, Mr. Chair.
I think Mr. Chong just admitted the fact that this part is redundant, because that power already exists. You don't need to state that in the motion. I remember in the past debating with members on whether or not we should have a line about taking oaths before they appear before the committee. This is not the United States of America. There are certain conventions and certain rules that are already in place in our parliamentary procedure. The power to summons if a witness refuses to appear lies with the chair and is within the Standing Orders. You do need not to state that in the motion.
I think the functions of this committee, like all committees, will continue to function appropriately with or without this in the motion. With this particular clause, I think it's quite redundant, and we should not have it in the motion.
