Thank you very much.
Carrying on with Peter's words, I do fully respect the fact that we have seen in the past.... I'm looking at some of the types. Minister Qualtrough has come to committee and has been put in as one of these things to come to committee. We've also seen these in other committees—with the China-Canada committee—where they're asking for people to come. There are lots of things we should be doing here.
I really do respect where John has gone on this. I think at the end of the day, there's only one person who needs to speak on this report. It's very unfortunate that his voice will not actually be in this report because he chooses not to come.
Perhaps I can ask the clerk.
Has an invitation actually been sent to the Prime Minister, and has there ever been a response? If you can [Technical difficulty—Editor] the time frame on that, since this all started, has anything ever been sent to him? Has there ever been a response? What can we look at there?
