Mr. Chair, my apologies to the witnesses. I wanted to hear them address the committee, but, in all likelihood, I'm going to miss it since I have to be in the House. Unfortunately, I won't be able to hear what they have to say today.
Nevertheless, I'd like to try one last time to reach a consensus and move a subamendment.
I move that, after “emails”, the words “from high officials” be added. We would strike “text messages, and summaries of phone calls” and keep the rest. We want information and transparency, but if we ask for text messages, it'll be a lot. Reviewing it all within the prescribed time frame will be challenging. The same goes for summaries of telephone calls.
What I'd like is information, but if we don't specify whose emails we are looking for, we could get the emails of 300, 400, 500 or 600 people. We'd be inundated with information, and I want to be able to review it in a reasonable amount of time. We are dealing with a crisis here.
That's my subamendment in a final attempt to reach a consensus.
