Mr. Chairman, if we put this motion to Mr. Mayrand and he reverses his decision, I do not see why we would need a public hearing. For what purpose? We wanted to study this matter until Friday so as to convince the Chief Electoral Officer to change his mind. If he refuses to do so, then I suggest we call him before the committee. However, if he agrees to our request, then there is no need to have a meeting.
