If I may, then, colleagues, there are some interesting points raised, but the fact remains that if you look at the minutes of the meetings that this committee has had over the first session and to date, this has not been an issue. I think we're trying to create something to deal with an exception that has not occurred yet and may never occur.
I want you to understand from my perspective that Mr. Thibault I think is right, that when we have people who do the work and who are here, they will handle themselves accordingly. The chairman has the discretion of making sure that everybody who has something to contribute will have that opportunity. I think that's in the best interests of the committee and certainly of parliamentarians.
So we have a motion on the table. This “questioning of witnesses” has been moved. There has been no amendment. So I'm going to put the question.
