Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Clearly, Mr. Schreiber, you've had an opportunity for some time to anticipate that you'd be coming before this committee. It's been speculated in the papers and in the media for weeks now. I would tend to believe that, with that in mind, and with its inevitability, you may have perhaps put some thought into preparing for this particular committee.
I have no doubt that you need access to the papers that are contained in your home, and we know that the Speaker's warrant provides you the right to access those papers. But I would simply suggest, sir, that if we give you the opportunity to access those papers, to review your notes, to consult with your counsel, that we reconvene, as we've all been anticipating this opportunity to speak with you for some period of time. We're certainly ready, and we want to give you the chance to be ready. That's why I'm moving this motion that we reconvene tonight, or, as you suggested in your opening statement, if you simply cannot speak before the application is heard by the Ontario Court of Appeal tomorrow, that we reconvene tomorrow after that application has been heard. Certainly that would give you the freedom to speak openly to this committee at that time.
