Mr. Chair, the intervention of our colleague Mrs. Shanahan is once again out of order.
The committee must not determine whether the witnesses should or shouldn't be summoned to appear and whether they should appear in writing or in person. That isn't the issue. The members of the House of Commons debated this on March 25. The purpose of the motion that is before us now is whether we are tabling a report in the House indicating that the order that was given was not complied with, period.
This order was given by the House on March 25, so it's too late to discuss the possibility of giving that order. My colleague's comments are out of order, and I think we should be content with determining whether or not to report to the House of Commons on the situation. That is all the motion is about.
