Thank you, Mr. Fergus.
Ms. Blaney, your hand is up next.
I have some details, so we can all be on the same page. After the motion and the list of witnesses were approved by this committee on April 28, the clerk made a phone call to request that the Right Honourable David Johnston appear. We received a reply on May 1. Within that reply, they confirmed, because of the contents of the report, that they would not be able to discuss what was in the report until it was released.
They then offered us the earliest date that was available on our schedule and what we were offering, which was June 6. On May 5, it was confirmed that the Right Honourable David Johnston would be willing to appear on June 6.
Go ahead, Ms. Blaney, followed by Madam Gaudreau.
