On a point of order, Mr. Chairman.
I do not know if my words were misinterpreted earlier, because I was speaking allegorically, but I did say that it was vitally important that we send out this letter. Based on the response received, you may contact us and we can quickly meet once more to draw up a list of witnesses. Let's not jump the gun. I think more frequent visits to the Optimist Clubs in your ridings is in order. I'm an optimist by nature. There is no need to say that we will call him before the committee if he refuses to reverse his decision, because that is implicit in my motion. If a meeting is necessary, we will hear from seven or eight witnesses. That's beside the point.
Let's start by sending him a letter and based on his response, you can contact us tomorrow morning and we can then decide on a course of action. The important thing here is to get a letter to him.
