I understand, Mr. Chair, but at the same time you've asked the clerk on the record for his advice and opinion on the very question of whether or not it's appropriate to invite a representative of the law firm when there's a case. The answer he gave was that it is appropriate to invite them. They can come, and they can choose to answer as they see fit. Not all of the questions will be appropriate, perhaps, but not all of questions won't be. There's not a blanket position on this.
The reason I want this law firm to come is that they know the most about what's actually been happening. I think they can come and describe for us in general terms, without giving names, what the evidence is that they're hearing. That doesn't mean that it's been established in a court of law, or that it's proved or anything like that, but we often hear about lawsuits and the allegations. I think all of us around this table can adjudicate that. This doesn't mean that we're making any finding about whether it's happening or not; but if we're going to try to get to the bottom of what's going on in this country, we should hear from the prime actors who actually know.
