I agree, because he's not compellable anyway. The way we deal with colleagues is usually to give them the benefit of the doubt. I think it would be way better to have you, Mr. Chair, invite him to come. We believe, from what we hear, that he would like to come and explain it, and it would be way more collegial in dealing with honourable members to not have that motion and to ask Mr. Calandra to withdraw it or at least table it until next week to see if you've been able to sort it out.
