Further to what Pam said, to the clerk through you, Mr. Chair, I saw some of that stuff, too, but I didn't see the invites. I saw the responses. I'm interested in knowing when those invites were sent.
This speaks to Mr. Green's amendment to the motion to say, “invite”. It was a week ago that we passed the motion, and I didn't see anything in what the clerk said that indicated they were not willing or somewhat enthusiastic to come to committee. I think “summon” is a strong word. It's probably a word we may have to use someday, but I'd say that, in this situation, I agree with Mr. Green.
I'd be interested in knowing when the invites were sent, what dates were offered, when they responded—whether it was immediate—whether the witnesses ever refused or hesitated to appear, and what other dates have been offered since their response.
