I guess my issue, Mr. Chair, is that I wouldn't want to see the date missed because we couldn't find them so that no summons could be issued and then have someone claim there's a privilege motion to be made because they didn't come on the date in the motion. I just wanted to understand. I'm fine.
What I was going to suggest, Mr. Chair, was that if the summons could be served, the chair would call them within seven days of being able to find them and delivering the summons. Again, if they're not found by December 10, I don't know what would happen, but I don't want to see another privilege motion going to the House because they didn't come when we couldn't summon them in the first place. They may not even be in Canada, and then we may have no authority to summon them.
I guess my logic, Mr. Chair, was that once they are found, I'm fine to have a date within seven days of the date that they're found. I just don't understand how we could include a date when we don't know if we'll find them.
