Madam Chair, I assumed that was the case, which is why I did not move a point of order challenging whether or not it needed a notice of motion. However, it would have been respectful of this committee had a notice of motion been given to do this. Then again, considering the mover of the motion, the lack of respect for this committee is not something I'm surprised at.
Madam Chair, the reality is that we're dealing with an issue here, and this committee has already taken its decision regarding this. We're going to continue to await a doctor's letter to excuse the absence of Mr. Carroll, and for our intent, he remains compelled to appear and is subject to the summons issued by the clerk of this committee. All committee members reserve the right to all of the remedies available to us if Mr. Carroll doesn't produce a substantive doctor's letter as promised. So as far as I'm concerned, this matter has already been dealt with.
I think that in the matter of the time that was allocated for today's business at hand, this committee should get back to the orders of the day, pursuant to the order of reference, and so on, according to our agenda, the consideration of the draft recommendations for the statutory review of the Lobbying Act. Therefore, I move that this committee go in camera to study that.
