It was really at the committee's discretion. It was up to us to decide whether to invite newly appointed persons to appear before the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics in order to ask them questions about their mandate.
In this case, we are dealing with six-month term extensions. These persons occupy positions on an interim basis. I do not know whether it is necessary to invite them to appear in this instance. However, it is up to the committee to decide the matter.
