It's a point of clarification.
Okay. It was discussed at the last meeting, and because the committee does not.... We do meet on the 17th. We have Mr. Nicholson, the justice minister, appearing before us.
The motion passed. Madam Freeman's motion was that those people appear before the committee on or before the 16th--next Wednesday. Since the committee doesn't meet Wednesday, the immediately preceding meeting of the committee would be on the Tuesday.
If they don't appear on Tuesday, then they will not have appeared before the committee, even if they wanted to, because we don't meet on the Wednesday. I don't know why it's the 16th, but if they don't appear on Tuesday, there's no way they could satisfy the motion and we could finalize the motion on the Tuesday. Nothing will change on Wednesday because we don't meet, unless the committee would like to arrange a meeting on the Wednesday and see if they would come.
That's just an explanation. We talked about this at the last meeting, that we will not be able to finalize our report until Tuesday to see whether or not either of the two witnesses appear.
Mr. Poilievre has the floor. He has proposed an amendment that Mr. Walsh be replaced by Mr. Baird.
