Madame Jennings has proposed an amendment. The effect of the amendment is to delete two additional names, Jean Landry and Lise Vallières, and to authorize the chair to issue summonses to any witness who may be summonsed—because as we know, MPs cannot be, without a House order—and that the chair be authorized, at his discretion, to summons any witness who may be a witness but who refuses the committee's invitation to appear.
This is an amendment to the motion. It would read formally that the motion be amended by adding, after the words “Robin Sears”, the names Jean Landry and Lise Vallières; and that the chair be authorized, at his discretion, to summons any witness who may be summonsed but who refuses the committee's invitation to appear.
That is the amendment to the motion that is already on the floor. We are resuming debate on the amendment.
Mr. Tilson.
