Although I love the direction we're taking, I don't understand why we don't call Mr. Mayrand here to ask him that, instead of sending him a letter to that effect.
This committee had Mr. Mayrand come during the review of Bill C-31. We thought that what we were trying to say was very clearly understood then. I think he very clearly said at a news conference today the opposite of what we're going to try to ask him to do in another letter. I'd rather ask him to his face than in writing.
I suggest that we have Mr. Mayrand here at the earliest convenience. I'll ask him that question. I don't think it will take long to get the answer.
