Thank you, Chair.
Chair, I'm not sure that the word “stunt” was well chosen, given there was confusion about dates, but it's been said.
Chair, I'd like to suggest that we put this matter over to our next meeting and that another attempt be made to have Mr. Sparrow agree to come to the committee. I haven't heard you report that he's refused outright to attend the committee meeting. I heard there's been some problem in finding an appropriate time or there have been problems with scheduling. I heard you report that it would be difficult for him to attend on May 11, but I didn't hear a refusal.
I would appreciate one more attempt. If it's unsuccessful, you could bring back your recommendation to the meeting on Thursday and we could discuss it again at that time. But given there's been confusion and there hasn't been an outright refusal, it's worth one more go-around to see if we can resolve it without resorting to a subpoena.
