Yes Mr. Chairman. I wanted to speak before we move on to another topic.
As you just mentioned, the bailiffs attempted several times to reach Mr. Dimitri Soudas or Ms. Jillian Andrews. These individuals are fully aware that the bailiffs have attempted to hand them a summons to appear. I am a lawyer and I am a member of the Barreau du Québec. Therefore I am not very familiar with civilian procedures in Ontario. I spoke to the House of Commons law clerks to find out how one proceeds in Ontario.
In fact, there are procedures that are compatible with both Ontario legislation and House of Commons procedures. Given the several unsuccessful attempts to serve a summons to appear to Dimitri Soudas and to Jillian Andrews, and given the public nature of these summons, I would like to table a motion before the committee to the effect that these summons are deemed to have been served and that Dimitri Soudas and Jillian Andrews be required to appear before the committee at the latest on Wednesday June 16, 2010.
