As I said earlier, Mr. Walsh, the strange scenario here is that you have the chief spokesman for the Prime Minister of Canada who ends up on TV most nights, certainly more than most cabinet ministers, yet he couldn't be found by the bailiff to issue him a summons, even though they called the receptionist in the office and so on. That's absolutely an affront.
In any event, are there any legally justifiable reasons to refuse to appear before a parliamentary committee when a summons is issued, assuming they get it?
