For some time now we been talking about the order of witnesses. The Conservatives have provided us with the list of all the witnesses they would like to meet. Furthermore, it is said that any other individual could come and testify before this committee. If we know which witnesses are to come, we need only figure out who will come first and who will come second. Do we want to hear from all these witnesses? If he wants to know whether we agree on his choice of witnesses, he need only call the question. Afterwards, he can bring forward all the witnesses he wants. I don't have a problem with that, however, I would like us to call the question to find out if everyone is in agreement. If so, he is talking for no reason, because there is no problem.
