Mr. Chair, I don't think Mr. Davis quite understands what process he's in right now. This is not like a textbook response that he can provide Parliament and not actually have to answer basic questions.
If he's not comfortable answering these questions at committee, I would, through you, Mr. Chair, request that he provide that to our committee in writing—if he does not want to do it on the record right now in front of the audience—for the consideration of this committee. We could then determine the worthiness of reporting on it. He can't simply come here to committee, a parliamentary committee of the House of Commons, and refuse to answer basic questions.
