Mr. Walsh, thank you for being here this morning to provide us with clarifications on the various aspects of the witnesses' failure to appear. The notice you shared with us last September 24 about Public Works and Government Services Canada states that one of the committee's main duties is to force the government, the executive authority that is, to be accountable.
We currently agree that the government has to answer for its deeds and actions. Accountability is one of its duties. We find that we have a hard time getting any information from this government. Could you tell me which authority takes precedence in the committee: the executive or the legislative?
