Mr. Chair, I'm listening to my colleagues, and while I honestly find that it should be DND that answers for their own decisions, if the will from other people on the committee is to invite somebody from DND, particularly the Royal Canadian Air Force, to come to committee, together with a representative of the Governor General's office—not her but a representative of her office—I'm fine with varying my amendment. Instead of striking “the Office of the Governor General”, I'll say, “a representative of the Office of the Governor General and a representative of the RCAF from the Department of National Defence”, or whatever, to come. It's clear that the RCAF, the Department of National Defence, is the one that can provide the answers, not the Governor General's office.
If the committee wants to have them here, I'm not going to block that. I just think that we have to have the people who can really answer the questions. I'm willing to listen to my colleagues and change the subamendment, if you allow, Mr. Chair. Rather than striking, I would add the words “and a representative from the Department of National Defence”.
I know I probably need to get unanimous consent to withdraw it and put it back, but if there's consensus, maybe, Mr. Chair, you can just allow it.
