Mr. Chairman, just give me one more moment.
I understand what you've said, and you've said it before. A whole bunch of witnesses haven't shown. Perhaps they're not available. The allegation is that they've been told not to show. We don't know that yet. We don't know anything at this point. We're not even so sure how many have been summonsed with affidavits of service, and in due course you will provide that information to us. But it may be that to cooperate with Canadian citizens who are available to come to these proceedings, we have an obligation to oblige them as best we can; and it may be that we should enable further time for them to come, in which case the appearance of Mr. Mayrand, I would submit to you, is premature.
If you're saying that we have heard all the testimony that we're going to hear for these hearings, maybe it's appropriate that Mr. Mayrand comes back. But if we haven't, I honestly believe Mr. Mayrand should wait until we have heard that testimony. Therefore, my assumption is that by your inviting Mr. Mayrand to come tomorrow, you have concluded that we've heard all the testimony that we need here with respect to this hearing.
