Chair, you're absolutely right that this witness was not invited but has requested to be here. We have a member of the Queen's Privy Council, the government House leader, who wants to be here. We have white space this afternoon in our calendar because the witness who was ordered by the House has failed to appear, so let's hear what the government House leader is prepared to or able to offer in answer to our questions, but we will have to review this matter with the law clerk and then look at next steps.
On March 29th, 2021. See this statement in context.
