Thank you for that.
The reason I'm bringing that forward, of course, is because the opposition continuously says, and I've heard it from some of our witnesses as well, that if the commissioner of elections had the power to compel testimony then we could have gotten to the bottom of the Pierre Poutine case already by merely getting witnesses forward. You could not use that information in court afterwards. That's why that would never be used. I'm glad you confirmed that.
This may be an unfair question, but I'll ask it anyway. If you were analyzing Bill C-23 comparatively, the issue about the ability to compel testimony, do you believe the ability you currently have would enhance the ability of the commissioner of elections to receive the type of information he would need in the course of his investigations, or do you have any opinion?
