With respect, I'm against that idea. We have a time-honoured process here. We don't have difficulty with what is taking place. We are shortchanging the witnesses we have here today.
If we start going off on all these witch hunts, this is how this committee gets hijacked. We have a process. Let's stay with it. We understand the witnesses can't be here. If at some particular point the witnesses are deemed to be either in contempt and/or there is no wilful acknowledgement, then we have obviously have an opportunity for legalities that we can pursue. We can't “if” ourselves to death on everything here.
Let's get on with our normal process of this committee and get rid of this motion, because I think it's spurious, then deal with our witnesses who are here and give them the courtesy that they're respected.
