Chair, I'm sorry to interrupt, but I have a point of order. It will mean no disrespect to our witnesses, especially since I'm meeting Mr. Atleo for the first time, who is the chancellor of a university whose campus is in the riding I represent.
The reason I'm raising this is that I've just learned that there's some litigation involved.
I'm not familiar with the details, but I understand, Ms. Blackstock, that you're involved with some litigation, and I understand the crown may be involved. As a lawyer, I've been trained that whenever there's litigation and you are a defendant or related as a party, counsel for the other party has to be involved, and it severely constrains what can happen between the parties.
So I would just suggest that perhaps we should go in camera and just understand better what the ramifications are of our meeting and exchanging information with the witnesses.
