Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I have a question in terms of how I hear colleagues around the table saying that possibly we're going to work on having this other person from Kenya come later on if we deem it necessary. I just wanted to ask committee members how this functions in terms of jurisdiction. Can we compel someone who's out of the country, out of Canada, to come to testify in this committee?
I want to have clarification. Maybe it's because I'm a rookie here, a new member, a new MP, and I probably haven't learned all the functioning yet, but I want to understand this. Can we actually compel someone who is not Canadian or is out of Canada? I know that we've had Americans come here to testify, but that was on their own willingness.
Can we, Mr. Chairman, have the answer to that in clarification of whether this committee has the power to compel a non-Canadian to come and testify before this committee?
