I have a point of order, Madam Chair. I want to get confirmation on something.
We asked for the outgoing president of Canada Soccer, Nick Bontis, to appear. We also asked for Mr. Cochrane, but we did not ask for the two independent directors. Through the clerk, I would like to know how they became involved in today's meeting.
I'm just going to throw this out. On Wednesday, we got the notice that Mr. Bontis was coming. When we received notice that he was not coming, I wondered if we should cancel this meeting with Canada Soccer. Everybody around this table, Madam Chair, wanted Mr. Bontis. He's not here today. We also wanted Mr. Cochrane, and I thank him for showing up, but we did not want the independent directors.
I'm going to ask the clerk, if you don't mind, how we got here today, with two people from the board whom the committee did not actually call on as witnesses.
