Our concern--and we could be right or we could be wrong, I'm going to admit that. We're worried about the precedent it would set--and Paradis was here--in that they've now set a standard where if we ask someone and the minister so decides, the minister can come in their place. That was our concern on that particular point.
There was one other question I had, Mr. Chair, and you mentioned it earlier. Judy asked a question somewhat along these same lines as well. Are there really any legally justifiable reasons to refuse to appear before a parliamentary committee when a summons is issued?
Mr. Chair, the summons never did get delivered to Mr. Soudas, did it?
