I hear you. At the last meeting you may recall that I circulated to all members a complete list of all possible witnesses and asked if there were any places we had to fill in to make recommendations.
Mr. Hiebert, every member has an opportunity to suggest witnesses, but no member has the authority to call for witnesses. It is the decision of the committee of the whole. You submitted a list of 20 without any rationale as to why it was important for us to see them. The committee should have an opportunity to suggest.
I'm going to suggest something, if I may. Members have the lists of all the people who have come from the Privacy Commissioner, our research assistant, and Mr. Hiebert. I think those are the three areas we had lists from. Is there anybody there who is important for us to do the work we want to do on this and should be proposed to us? I believe I asked for an explanation as to the importance of a witness to our work, so the committee can consider it and make a decision.
Can we do that for Thursday?
