Thank you, Chair.
I'm not sure I can support this motion. I don't believe we need further advice from the law clerk on the consequences of this. I think our job is to report what's happened. And what's happened is this: these witnesses have failed to appear, have refused to appear, have been instructed not to appear. I think that's all we need to know, frankly, for this next step.
The chair, I believe, has had conversations with Mr. Walsh over the course of this problem. I don't believe having a meeting where he comes to tell us consequences is particularly helpful at this time.
