I'm just conscious of the need to get on with the business of the committee hearing witnesses, so I think the motion as created and as articulated by Senator Boniface is useful. I would just perhaps insert the word “written”, so it's “seek a joint written opinion” from the law clerk, to make it crystal clear. Then perhaps if there's any necessity after the fact, after we receive the written opinion, we could pose some interrogatories to the law clerks at a later date.
