Thank you very much.
Mr. Chair, on Friday, I gave notice of a motion that I would like to table now. I'll read it into the record:
That given the clerk has invited Annette Verschuren twice to appear before the committee to discuss her conflict of interest at Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), and that the witness has twice failed to provide a date of availability, the committee therefore summons Annette Verschuren to appear before the committee in-person for a period not less than one hour, no later than November 30, 2023.
Further, that committee request Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) to provide any declarations of a conflict of interest from board members since 2015.
I have a brief explanation. I understand that Ms. Verschuren is leaving the country on Friday. We've given her lots of chances to appear. We have a space that she knows is available to her on Thursday. She has the ability to appear on Thursday. I don't think we're going to get her to appear, so I would recommend that we summons her.
Thank you.
