I want to say that summonsing someone is a serious matter. I take it very seriously. I don't think it's necessary, given the fact that Ms. Verschuren has said she is willing to appear on December 12. Why wouldn't we just reinvite her? Then, if, for some reason she doesn't actually appear on December 12, which I wouldn't anticipate given the fact that she's already responded to the committee to say she would be available on that date, then we can deal with the matter after that.
To me, to use a summons when it's not absolutely necessary is, in a way, overstepping in terms of our power as members of Parliament, in my opinion, because it should be used as a last resort. When someone is completely unwilling and has been invited and invited and invited, then it's “No, you need to come to the committee.” This hasn't happened in this case.
We've already had the discussion that, in fact, the committee hadn't deliberated on her being invited at all. The motion itself is a bit confusing, so perhaps I can understand that. However, I've already made that point.
