Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm going to try to do what I can, this morning, to make your life easier. I withdraw my notice of motion. I'm supporting Mr. Pacetti's motion, while repeating that Mr. Pacetti was clear, in fact extremely so. The facts were reported in the newspapers.
I'm a lawyer, and I can tell you that Mr. Menzies' argument doesn't hold water. It is not true that having one or another of Nortel Networks' executives or directors before the committee would be a problem. They have complete immunity and they benefit from all the protection and guarantees imaginable. They are better protected than anyone else, no matter what the situation. In order to understand the context, an explanation by a company representative is essential.
I thought that Mr. Manley was a good choice, for the very simple reason that, in addition to being a senior manager at Nortel Networks, he knows how Parliament works. So, if it will help, I will withdraw my notice of motion, as long as, if ever the other witness couldn't appear for some unavoidable reason, our second choice could be the witness that I had proposed.
I am supporting Mr. Pacetti's motion and I withdraw mine.
