Yes, I suggest that he could easily come here for one hour, state what he needs to in response to what was reported, and provide us with the opportunity to ask any clarifying questions. This is, as my colleague pointed out, the precedent we set on this committee. When witnesses come to testify before this committee, they provide us with information. When it is found that they have misled the committee or provided us with information that is contradicted by information uncovered later, we always ask them to come back to clarify—whether or not they were misleading this committee—in order to ensure we are getting the most honest testimony we can get, to continue doing the work we're doing.
Because this letter has come, again, on the heels of a request to have him appear—not unlike the emails that were suddenly uncovered or sent the day after we asked him to appear the first time—I suggest that he needs to appear before this committee, as we've asked, for one hour. I think that was a compromise made on this side of the House to ensure the governing members would support it. As my colleague pointed out, it appeared they were in support of bringing Mr. Clark back, so let's have him here. Let's provide him with the opportunity to reiterate what he sent in this letter on the heels of the media reports, and provide ourselves with the opportunity to ask questions.
Thank you, Chair.
