Well, then, we still don't get to cross-examine on their responses, because it's after the evidence has been tendered.
The last piece is on the point in (c)(ii):
provided that a failure to respond to questions shall be approached by the Committee as if a witness declined to respond to an oral question asked at a Committee meeting
That to me seems to be going down the slope of actually sanctioning the individual who has failed to respond. Sanctioning people for failing to respond in committee is something that can only be done in our chamber, in the House of Commons itself. If that's leading us towards contempt proceedings, then I have significant issues with the way this is phrased.
I'll remind my friends opposite that among people on their witness list are Conservative politicians such as the Premier of Ontario.
