Mr. Chair, you just told the committee, I would say probably 10 minutes ago, that subsequent to receiving his summons he was in contact with the clerk and said he could be here Thursday, not Tuesday. So you have known that for several days—again, something you've withheld from the balance of the members of this committee.
Now we have people saying they don't want to hear from this witness. People are saying we need to sanction people. Well, its entirely unreasonable. You either want to hear from your witnesses, the opposition either wants to hear from its witnesses—we know they didn't want to hear from ours—or they don't. Which way do you want it? Let's hear from him right now.
Thank you.
