Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I just want to make this clear and on the record. What I understand from this discussion is that Mr. McGuinty, Mr. Scarpaleggia, Mr. Trudeau, Mr. Bigras, Mr. Ouellette, and Ms. Duncan are insisting on the opposition's right to boycott witnesses and not to have a witness heard at their discretion, regardless of where the witnesses came from. The only reason we're having this discussion right now is that the motion, as it is currently before this committee, requires the attendance of an opposition member and that it's that attendance that allows the opposition to boycott a committee and consequently to require a witness to have come from Alberta, or wherever else, to this committee and to potentially not be heard. It seems to me that's what the position of the opposition boils down to.
Thank you.
