I don't want to repeat myself unnecessarily, but we're still way off topic. With all due respect to my colleague Mrs. Shanahan, that isn't what we're talking about.
She's trying to convince us that the order adopted by the House on March 25 wasn't appropriate. Although she may be right, the fact is that the order was adopted. The question is whether or not we report to the House that the witnesses did not appear. I know that my Liberal colleagues have a custom of hiding a certain number of items, but I don't think we should do that.
The opportunity to summon or not summon these people has passed; it's too late. The day of March 25 was completely devoted to this topic. The 338 members of the House of Commons could speak. It's over and done with, rightly or wrongly. The House of Commons decided to summon them.
Our role today is to decide whether we report their absence to the House. That's the only valid question.
