Yes, that's clearly the item. I was providing some context for how we got here. If you look at the meeting notice, there's no reference to clause-by-clause. There's also no reference to the officials.
I want to pick up on something Ms. Desrochers said and ask it of the officials, because they are here. Somebody clearly told them to be here, even though they weren't officially invited through the meeting notice. I wonder if I could ask the officials if they could each share.... It's curious. Normally, when a witness comes to committee, they are invited and on the meeting notice.
I appreciate your work, and I know you're responsible for working under the direction of ministers, regardless of party. I appreciate your commitment and professionalism. I would like to know who told you to come here today and when you were told, because there's no meeting notice that would have.... I assume there was no invitation from the chair. Normally, the chair invites and schedules witnesses, and those names appear on the meeting notice.
I wonder if our officials could share how that came about.
